mainlining shenanigans

Perf checks the duplicate entries in a callchain before adding an entry. However the check is very slow especially with deeper call stack. Almost ~50% elapsed time of perf report is spent on the check when the call stack is always depth of 32. The hist_entry__cmp() is used to compare the new entry with the old entries. It will go through all the available sorts in the sort_list, and call the specific cmp of each sort, which is very slow. Actually, for most cases, there are no duplicate entries in callchain. The symbols are usually different. It's much faster to do a quick check for symbols first. Only do the full cmp when the symbols are exactly the same. The quick check is only to check symbols, not dso. Export _sort__sym_cmp. $ perf record --call-graph lbr ./tchain_edit_64 Without the patch $time perf report --stdio real 0m21.142s user 0m21.110s sys 0m0.033s With the patch $time perf report --stdio real 0m10.977s user 0m10.948s sys 0m0.027s Signed-off-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexey Budankov <alexey.budankov@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@linaro.org> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Pavel Gerasimov <pavel.gerasimov@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Vitaly Slobodskoy <vitaly.slobodskoy@intel.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200319202517.23423-18-kan.liang@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
