I am new to perf usage.

  4,60%  t_lockref_from-  [kernel.kallsyms]     [k] __ticket_spin_lock

Which entry to select?

Annotate __ticket_spin_lock
Zoom into t_lockref_from-(3962) thread
Zoom into the Kernel DSO
Browse map details
Run scripts for samples of thread [t_lockref_from-]
Run scripts for samples of symbol [__ticket_spin_lock]
Run scripts for all samples
Switch to another data file in PWD
Exit
