    perf evsel: Cache associated event_format · fcf65bf1
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data
    header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do
    it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can
    avoid relookups in tools that need to access it.
    
    Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were
    using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further
    removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event
    field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per
    event_format fields).
    
    This is something that was planned but only got actually done when
    Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when
    we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with
    pevent_find_event().
