I've checked your change in with the following commit.

====
commit 8f923ff46ae2f91ccea95737fca3524c861a553c

    Updated testsuite/systemtap.examples/process/mutex_contention.stp
example.

    Stats that were supposed to be collected per FUTEX_WAIT call site were
    being collected per mutex init stack. So, in the "aggregate stats"
section
    of the report, you'd see a bunch of stacks with pthread_mutex_init
at the
    top, which was very confusing because a futex isn't contended when it's
    created.

Thanks for the update - sorry this response took so long.
