default" patch. Not required for newly collected data with LOCKDEP
tracepoints.
* Display map and thread info (rather than an error) when neither or
both of --map and --thread are specified.

v3:
* Update --help output

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf lock info: Display both map and thread by default

Change "perf lock info" argument handling to:

Display both map and thread info (rather than an error) when neither are
specified.

Display both map and thread info (rather than just thread info) when
both are requested.

it seems you need pr_info("\n"). Where does lock_output come from?

I think we can remove this block now.

It's a static FILE* that defaults to stderr.


It's used by dump_threads and dump_map (via fprintf), so I think it
makes sense to use it for the output spacing between them?

The original error looked like a function input sanity check (rather
than for handling user input), so I kept it (even if it should no longer
be possible for a user to trigger it).


Although I can remove it (or move it to the start of the function) if
you prefer.
