275 excessive contention of the BKL. The bkl.stp script takes one
276 argument which is the number of processes waiting for the Big Kernel
277 Lock (BKL). When the number of processes waiting for the BKL is
278 reached or exceeded, the script will print a time stamp, the number
279 of processes waiting for the BKL, the holder of the BKL, and the
280 amount of time the BKL was held.

289 lists of all the processes that require the BKL. Every five seconds
290 two tables are printed out. The first table lists the processes that
291 waited for the BKL followed by the number of times that the process
292 waited, the minimum time of the wait, the average and the maximum
