perf dsos: Switch backing storage to array from rbtree/list
DSOs were held on a list for fast iteration and in an rbtree for fast finds. Switch to using a lazily sorted array where iteration is just iterating through the array and binary searches are the same complexity as searching the rbtree. The find may need to sort the array first which does increase the complexity, but add operations have lower complexity and overall the complexity should remain about the same. The set name operations on the dso just records that the array is no longer sorted, avoiding complexity in rebalancing the rbtree. Tighter locking discipline is enforced to avoid the array being resorted while long and short names or ids are changed. The array is smaller in size, replacing 6 pointers with 2, and so even with extra allocated space in the array, the array may be 50% unoccupied, the memory saving should be at least 2x. Committer testing: On a previous version of this patchset we were getting a lot of warnings about deleting a DSO still on a list, now it is ok: root@x1:~# perf probe -l root@x1:~# perf probe finish_task_switch Added new event: probe:finish_task_switch (on finish_task_switch) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:finish_task_switch -aR sleep 1 root@x1:~# perf probe -l probe:finish_task_switch (on finish_task_switch@kernel/sched/core.c) root@x1:~# perf trace -e probe:finish_task_switch/max-stack=8/ --max-events=1 0.000 migration/0/19 probe:finish_task_switch(__probe_ip: -1894408688) finish_task_switch.isra.0 ([kernel.kallsyms]) __schedule ([kernel.kallsyms]) schedule ([kernel.kallsyms]) smpboot_thread_fn ([kernel.kallsyms]) kthread ([kernel.kallsyms]) ret_from_fork ([kernel.kallsyms]) ret_from_fork_asm ([kernel.kallsyms]) root@x1:~# root@x1:~# perf probe -d probe:* Removed event: probe:finish_task_switch root@x1:~# perf probe -l root@x1:~# I also ran the full 'perf test' suite after applying this one, no regressions.
