It can fail to collect lock stat from BPF for various reasons. For
example, I've got a report that sometimes time calculation seems wrong
in case of contended spinlocks. I suspect the time delta went negative
for some reason.
Count them separately and show in the output like below:
$ sudo perf lock contention -abE5 sleep 10
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller
13 785.61 us 79.36 us 60.43 us spinlock remove_wait_queue+0x14
10 469.02 us 87.51 us 46.90 us spinlock prepare_to_wait+0x27
9 289.09 us 69.08 us 32.12 us spinlock finish_wait+0x36
114 251.05 us 8.56 us 2.20 us spinlock try_to_wake_up+0x1f5
132 188.63 us 5.01 us 1.43 us spinlock __wake_up_common_lock+0x62
=== output for debug ===

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.
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.
