perf tools: Speed up report for perf compiled with linwunwind
When compiled with libunwind, perf does some preparatory work when
processing side-band events. This is not needed when report actually
don't unwind dwarf callchains, so it's disabled with
dwarf_callchain_users bool.
However we could move that check to higher level and shield more
unwanted code for normal report processing, giving us following speed up
on kernel build profile:
Before:
$ perf record make -j40
...
$ ll ../../perf.data
-rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 461783932 Apr 26 09:11 perf.data
$ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u perf report -i perf.data > out
Performance counter stats for 'perf report -i perf.data':
78,669,920,155 cycles:u
99,076,431,951 instructions:u # 1.26 insn per cycle
55.382823668 seconds time elapsed
27.512341000 seconds user
27.712871000 seconds sys
After:
$ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u perf report -i perf.data > out
Performance counter stats for 'perf report -i perf.data':
59,626,798,904 cycles:u
88,583,575,849 instructions:u # 1.49 insn per cycle
21.296935559 seconds time elapsed
20.010191000 seconds user
1.202935000 seconds sys
The speed is higher with profile having many side-band events,
because these trigger libunwind preparatory code.
This does not apply for perf compiled with libdw for dwarf unwind,
only for build with libunwind.
