Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] perf cs-etm: Optimize copying last branches
Date:   Mon,  3 Feb 2020 09:52:02 +0800
Message-Id: <20200203015203.27882-5-leo.yan@linaro.org>
In-Reply-To: <20200203015203.27882-1-leo.yan@linaro.org>
References: <20200203015203.27882-1-leo.yan@linaro.org>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

If an instruction range packet can generate multiple instruction
samples, these samples share the same last branches; it's not necessary
to copy the same last branches repeatedly for these samples within the
same packet.

This patch moves out the last branches copying from function
cs_etm__synth_instruction_sample(), and execute it prior to generating
instruction samples.
