perf tools: Speed up report for perf compiled with linwunwind
When compiled with libunwind, perf does some preparatory work when processing side-band events. This is not needed when report actually don't unwind dwarf callchains, so it's disabled with dwarf_callchain_users bool. However we could move that check to higher level and shield more unwanted code for normal report processing, giving us following speed up on kernel build profile: Before: $ perf record make -j40 ... $ ll ../../perf.data -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 461783932 Apr 26 09:11 perf.data $ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u perf report -i perf.data > out Performance counter stats for 'perf report -i perf.data': 78,669,920,155 cycles:u 99,076,431,951 instructions:u # 1.26 insn per cycle 55.382823668 seconds time elapsed 27.512341000 seconds user 27.712871000 seconds sys After: $ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u perf report -i perf.data > out Performance counter stats for 'perf report -i perf.data': 59,626,798,904 cycles:u 88,583,575,849 instructions:u # 1.49 insn per cycle 21.296935559 seconds time elapsed 20.010191000 seconds user 1.202935000 seconds sys The speed is higher with profile having many side-band events, because these trigger libunwind preparatory code. This does not apply for perf compiled with libdw for dwarf unwind, only for build with libunwind.
