perf lock contention: Add --output option
To avoid formatting failures for example in CSV output due to debug messages, add --output option to put the result in a file. Unfortunately the short -o option was taken by the --owner already. $ sudo ./perf lock con -ab --output lock-out.txt -v sleep 1 Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long) symsrc__init: cannot get elf header.
