[ Upstream commitb0e5a05cc9] When execute command "perf lock report", it hits failure and outputs log as follows: perf: builtin-lock.c:623: report_lock_release_event: Assertion `!(seq->read_count < 0)' failed. Aborted This is an imbalance issue. The locking sequence structure "lock_seq_stat" contains the reader counter and it is used to check if the locking sequence is balance or not between acquiring and releasing. If the tool wrongly frees "lock_seq_stat" when "read_count" isn't zero, the "read_count" will be reset to zero when allocate a new structure at the next time; thus it causes the wrong counting for reader and finally results in imbalance issue. To fix this issue, if detects "read_count" is not zero (means still have read user in the locking sequence), goto the "end" tag to skip freeing structure "lock_seq_stat".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
