Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf: Optimize perf_init_event() for TYPE_SOFTWARE
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2019 11:20:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191022092307.483110884@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20191022092017.740591163@infradead.org

From: "Liang, Kan" <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

Andi reported that he was hitting the linear search in
perf_init_event() a lot. Now that all !TYPE_SOFTWARE events should hit
the IDR, make sure the TYPE_SOFTWARE events are at the head of the
list such that we'll quickly find the right PMU (provided a valid
event was given).

Reported-by: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>
