perf tools: Cache register accesses for unwind processing
Caching registers value into an array. Got about 4% speed up
of perf_reg_value function for report command processing
dwarf unwind stacks.
Output from report over 1.5 GB data with DWARF unwind stacks:
(TODO fix perf diff)
current code:
5.84% perf perf [.] perf_reg_value
change:
1.94% perf perf [.] perf_reg_value
And little bit of overall speed up:
(perf stat -r 5 -e '{cycles,instructions}:u' ...)
current code:
310,298,611,754 cycles ( +- 0.33% )
439,669,689,341 instructions ( +- 0.03% )
188.656753166 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.82% )
change:
291,315,329,878 cycles ( +- 0.22% )
391,763,485,304 instructions ( +- 0.03% )
180.742249687 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.64% )
