It also tracks 4 contention points per class. A contention point is a call site
that had to wait on lock acquisition.
+ - CONFIGURATION
+
+Lock statistics are enabled via CONFIG_LOCK_STATS.
+
- USAGE
+Enable collection of statistics:
+
+# echo 1 >/proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat
+
+Disable collection of statistics:
+
+# echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat
+
