Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm waaay out of my comfort zone here... So I am assuming you are doing kernel tracing. If it's userspace tracing, you need to wrap the library yourself. I don't know how recommendable it is, you may incur some performance impact. In Linux, mutexes/semaphores are atomic and not logged, unless there is contention on the resource. You can see this as a "sys_futex" so look up "utex" and you should be good. Also, if you keep your trace in CTF, certain trace viewers can show your contention between threads[1].

Did you trace some userspace application? Did you trace the kernel? A trace is as good as its tracepoints. You can use lttng list to get the available tracepoints for each tracing domain: >From "lttng-list" man page: With one or more of the --kernel, --userspace, --jul, --log4j, and --python domain options, the command lists the available event sources of the selected domain on the system. The JUL, log4j, and Python domains list the names of their available loggers. The --syscall option can be used alongside the --kernel option to get a list of traceable Linux system calls. The --fields option can be used to show the fields of the listed event sources. AFAIK, lttng-modules does not instrument locking primitive. lttng-ust does provides overwrite library for pthread_mutex_lock, pthread_mutex_trylock and pthread_mutex_unlock. You will need to LD_PRELOAD (application start) it. https://protect2.fireeye.com/url?k=d4352e55-88e124c9-d4356ece-8631fc8bdea5-87f781b0b8299b36&q=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Flttng%2Flttng-ust%2Ftree%2F9d4d2a639afc19a1bd705ea560782917ac892596%2Fliblttng-ust-libc-wrapper Cheers.
