checkpatch: improve runtime execution speed a little
checkpatch repeatedly uses a runtime minimum version check that validates the minimum perl version required for a regex match by using a "$^V ge 5.10.0" runtime string match. Only perform that minimum version test once and store the result to reduce string matching time. This reduces runtime execution time for patches or files with high line counts. An example runtime improvement: new: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null real 0m11.856s user 0m11.831s sys 0m0.025s old: $ time ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c > /dev/null real 0m13.330s user 0m13.282s sys 0m0.049s Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/db21aa9703833bad65ab70cc4e8a78da5b399138.camel@perches.comSigned-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
