Thanks, overall just consider making the patches smaller if possible,
with prep patches paving the way for more complex changes so that
reviewing becomes easier, for instance:
perf machine: Refine the function for LBR call stack reconstruction
Seems to do too many things at once. It was unfortunate, for instance,
that the pre-existing code had that
resolve_lbr_callchain_sample()
{
/* LBR only affects the user callchain */
if (i != chain_nr) {
body of the function, long
....
return err;
}
return 0;
}
One of the things you did in this patch was to the more sensible:
/* LBR only affects the user callchain */
if (i == chain_nr)
return 0;
body of the function
...
return err;
So if you had a prep patch at this point just removing that silly
indent, then we would see that that is just removing the indent, the
next patch wouldn't have that check for user callchains, would be
smaller, I think that would help reduce the patch sizes.
Then if you just moved to a separate function the (callchain_param.order
== ORDER_CALLEE) part, the patch would again be smaller, etc.
This helps reviewing and usually helps us later, with bisection, when
some bug is introduced,
