locking/qspinlock_stat: Count instances of nested lock slowpaths
Queued spinlock supports up to 4 levels of lock slowpath nesting - user context, soft IRQ, hard IRQ and NMI. However, we are not sure how often the nesting happens. So add 3 more per-CPU stat counters to track the number of instances where nesting index goes to 1, 2 and 3 respectively. On a dual-socket 64-core 128-thread Zen server, the following were the new stat counter values under different circumstances: State slowpath index1 index2 index3 ----- -------- ------ ------ ------- After bootup 1,012,150 82 0 0 After parallel build + perf-top 125,195,009 82 0 0 So the chance of having more than 2 levels of nesting is extremely low.
