Hello,

+void
+lock_profile_obtain_lock_success(struct lock_object *lo, int contested,
+    uint64_t waittime, const char *file, int line)
+{
+       static int lock_prof_count;
+       struct lock_profile_object *l;
+       int spin;
+
+       /* don't reset the timer when/if recursing */
+       if (!lock_prof_enable || (lo->lo_flags & LO_NOPROFILE))
+               return;
+       if (lock_prof_skipcount &&
+           (++lock_prof_count % lock_prof_skipcount) == 0)
+               return;
+       spin = LOCK_CLASS(lo) == &lock_class_mtx_spin;
+       if (spin && lock_prof_skipspin == 1)
+               return;

I would really like to get ride of this kind of checks against
lock_class_* objects.
The correct thing to do here is to check for the LC_SPINLOCK in the
class flags (this is exactly why they have been introduced I think).

I have a question though.
Does this new implementation track adaptive spinning in locks?
I would have expected a different function for something like that as
"lock_profile_obtain_lock_spinning()" or similar in order to track
both spinning and sleeping times about the same locks, but looking at
function prototypes, at consumers and looking at members of struct
lock_prof I don't see any obvious evidence of it.

Thanks for this work, I really like that our ABI is no longer broken :)
