    perf session: Cache sample objects · 020bb75a
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    When the sample queue is flushed we free the sample reference objects. Though
    we need to malloc new objects when we process further. Stop the malloc/free
    orgy and cache the already allocated object for resuage. Only allocate when
    the cache is empty.
    
    Performance gain: ~ 10%
