Subject[PATCH 60/60] perf hist: Add fast path for duplicate entries check
Date
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

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
