sorry..

The are solaris mutex locks used by the postgresql process.

What its saying is that there are holds/waits in trying to get locks which are locked at Solaris user library levels called from the postgresql functions: For example both the following functions are hitting on the same mutex lock 0x10059e280 in Solaris Library call:
postgres`AllocSetDelete+0x98
postgres`AllocSetAlloc+0x1c4


I need to enable the DTrace probes on my builds

So follow that up --- try to determine which lock is being contended

with -DLWLOCK_STATS, but probably DTrace would be a better tool.

Using plockstat -A -s 5 -p $pid

I don't know what that is, but it doesn't appear to have anything to do
with Postgres LWLocks or spinlocks, which are the locks I was thinking of.
Try asking Robert Lor about this --- IIRC he had some dtrace probes to
work with our locks.
