[PATCH v2 6/7] perf pmu-events: Remember the perf_events_map for a PMU

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Oct 12 2023 - 13:57:16 EST


strcmp_cpuid_str performs regular expression comparisons and so per
CPUID linear searches over the perf_events_map are expensive. Add a
helper function called map_for_pmu that does the search but also
caches the map specific to a PMU. As the PMU may differ, also cache
the CPUID string so that PMUs with the same CPUID string don't require
the linear search and regular expression comparisons. This speeds
loading PMUs as the search is done once per PMU to find the
appropriate tables.
