From b965bb41061ad8d3eafda6e7feef89279fcd3916 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 16:37:15 +0100 Subject: perf callchain: Spare double comparison of callchain first entry When a new callchain child branch matches an existing one in the rbtree, the comparison of its first entry is performed twice: 1) From append_chain_children() on branch lookup 2) If 1) reports a match, append_chain() then compares all entries of the new branch against the matching node in the rbtree, and this comparison includes the first entry of the new branch again. Lets shortcut this by performing the whole comparison only from append_chain() which then returns the result of the comparison between the first entry of the new branch and the iterating node in the rbtree. If the first entry matches, the lookup on the current level of siblings stops and propagates to the children of the matching nodes. This results in less comparisons performed by the CPU.
