[PATCH] perf: Use strcmp() for "ftrace:function" check
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Dec 20 2018 - 12:36:26 EST
As strncmp(str, "const", sizeof("const") is exactly the same as
strcmp(str, "const") use that instead, otherwise it is confusing.
The test if the event name is "ftrace:function" in
perf_evsel__set_sample_id() is rather strange as it makes an
unnecessary macro of FUNCTION_EVENT to equal "ftrace:function" and uses
that twice so that it can do the sizeof(). But since sizeof("const")
includes the nul terminator ('\0') of the string "const" that compare
is the same as using strcmp().
With strcmp() there's no need to use the string twice, and that also
means the FUNCTION_EVENT macro is not needed.
