[PATCH] perf intel-pt: don't zero the whole perf_sample
From: Tavian Barnes
Date: Sat Jan 11 2025 - 12:57:22 EST
C designated initializers like
struct perf_sample sample = { .ip = 0, };
set every unmentioned field of the struct to zero. But since
sizeof(struct perf_sample) == 1384, this takes a long time.
struct perf_sample does not need to be fully initialized, and even
.ip = 0 is unnecessary because intel_pt_prep_*_sample() will initialize
it. Skipping the initialization saves about 2.5% of the execution time
when running
$ perf script --itrace=i0
