[PATCH v2 12/13] perf mmap: Lazily initialize zstd streams

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Oct 12 2023 - 02:25:16 EST


Zstd streams create dictionaries that can require significant RAM,
especially when there is one per-CPU. Tools like perf record won't use
the streams without the -z option, and so the creation of the streams
is pure overhead. Switch to creating the streams on first use.
