+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBlockstat\fR utility gathers and displays kernel locking and profiling statistics. \fBlockstat\fR allows you to specify which events to watch (for example, spin on adaptive mutex, block on read access to rwlock due to waiting writers, and so forth) how much
+data to gather for each event, and how to display the data. By default, \fBlockstat\fR monitors all lock contention events, gathers frequency and timing data about those events, and displays the data in decreasing frequency order, so that the most common events appear first.
+.sp
+.LP
+\fBlockstat\fR gathers data until the specified command completes. For example, to gather statistics for a fixed-time interval, use \fBsleep\fR(1) as
+the command, as follows:
+.sp
+.LP
+\fBexample#\fR \fBlockstat\fR \fBsleep\fR \fB5\fR
+.sp
+.LP
+When the \fB-I\fR option is specified, \fBlockstat\fR establishes a per-processor high-level periodic interrupt source to gather profiling data. The interrupt handler simply generates a \fBlockstat\fR event whose caller is the interrupted PC (program counter).
+The profiling event is just like any other \fBlockstat\fR event, so all of the normal \fBlockstat\fR options are applicable.
+.sp
+.LP
+\fBlockstat\fR relies on DTrace to modify the running kernel's text to intercept events of interest. This imposes a small but measurable overhead on all system activity, so access to \fBlockstat\fR is restricted to super-user by default. The system administrator
+can permit other users to use \fBlockstat\fR by granting them additional DTrace privileges. Refer to the \fISolaris Dynamic Tracing Guide\fR for more information about DTrace security features.
+.SH OPTIONS

+The \fB-g\fR option works by counting the total number of stack frames in which each function appears. This implies two things: (1) the data reported by \fB-g\fR can be misleading if the stack traces are not deep enough, and (2) functions that are called recursively might show

+In the example above, 5% of the samples were in \fBpoll()\fR. This tells us how much time was spent inside \fBpoll()\fR itself, but tells us nothing about how much work was \fBgenerated\fR by \fBpoll()\fR; that is, how much time we spent
+in functions called by \fBpoll()\fR. To determine that, we use the \fB-g\fR option. The example below shows that although \fBpolltest\fR spends only 5% of its time in \fBpoll()\fR itself, \fBpoll()\fR-induced work accounts for 34% of
+the load.
+
+.sp
+.LP
+Note that the functions that generate the profiling interrupt (\fBlockstat_intr()\fR, \fBcyclic_fire()\fR, and so forth) appear in every stack trace, and therefore are considered to have generated 100% of the load. This illustrates an important point: the generated
+load percentages do \fBnot\fR add up to 100% because they are not independent. If 72% of all stack traces contain both \fBfoo()\fR and \fBbar()\fR, then both \fBfoo()\fR and \fBbar()\fR are 72% load generators.

+.LP
+In this example we use the \fB-f\fR option not to specify a single function, but rather to specify the entire text space of the \fBsbus\fR module. We gather both lock contention and profiling statistics so that contention can be correlated with overall load on the

+.SH NOTES
+.sp
+.LP
+The profiling support provided by \fBlockstat\fR \fB-I\fR replaces the old (and undocumented) \fB/usr/bin/kgmon\fR and \fB/dev/profile\fR.
+.sp
+.LP
+Tail-call elimination can affect call sites. For example, if \fBfoo()\fR\fB+0x50\fR calls \fBbar()\fR and the last thing \fBbar()\fR does is call \fBmutex_exit()\fR, the compiler can arrange for \fBbar()\fR to
+branch to \fBmutex_exit()\fRwith a return address of \fBfoo()\fR\fB+0x58\fR. Thus, the \fBmutex_exit()\fR in \fBbar()\fR will appear as though it occurred at \fBfoo()\fR\fB+0x58\fR.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBPC\fR in the stack frame in which an interrupt occurs can be bogus because, between function calls, the compiler is free to use the return address register for local storage.
+.sp
+.LP
+When using the \fB-I\fR and \fB-s\fR options together, the interrupted PC will usually not appear anywhere in the stack since the interrupt handler is entered asynchronously, not by a function call from that \fBPC\fR.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBlockstat\fR technology is provided on an as-is basis. The format and content of \fBlockstat\fR output reflect the current Solaris kernel implementation and are therefore subject to change in future releases.
