From fcf65bf149afa91b875ffde4455967cb63ee0be9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 09:58:03 -0300 Subject: perf evsel: Cache associated event_format We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can avoid relookups in tools that need to access it. Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per event_format fields). This is something that was planned but only got actually done when Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with pevent_find_event().
