[PATCHv2 00/14] perf tools: Speedup DWARF unwind

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

hi,
trying to speedup DWARF unwind report code by factoring
related code:
  - caching sample's registers access
  - keep dso data file descriptor open for the
    life of the dso object
  - replace dso cache code by mapping dso data file
    directly for the life of the dso object

The speedup is mainly for libunwind unwind. The libdw will benefit
mainly from cached registers access, because it handles dso data
accesses by itself.. and anyway it's still faster ;-).

v2 changes:
  - adding limit for open dso objects with sort of LRU
    mechanism to pick up and close dso objects if we
    are over the limit
  - file mmaping changes are omitted, because I couldn't prove
    the improvement exactly, will resubmit later
  - added dso close logic in case of no memory
  - added tests

On 10GB perf data file with dwarf unwind data I've got
around 30% speed up.

thanks,
jirka
