[PATCH] perf tools: Avoid unnecessary work in directory lookups

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Fri Sep 04 2009 - 15:40:29 EST


From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch improves some (common) inefficiencies in the handling of
directory lookups:

- not using the d_type information returned by the kernel

- constructing (absolute) paths for file operation even though
directory-relative operations using the *at functions is possible

There are more places to fix but this is a start.
