[PATCHv2 0/2] perf tools: Share struct map after clone
From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Wed Oct 16 2019 - 04:22:32 EST
hi,
Andi reported that maps cloning is eating lot of memory and
it's probably unnecessary, because they keep the same data.
This 'maps sharing' seems to save lot of heap for reports with
many forks/cloned mmaps (over 60% in example below).
Profile kernel build:
$ perf record make -j 40
Get heap profile (tools/perf directory):
$ <install gperftools>
$ make TCMALLOC=1
$ HEAPPROFILE=/tmp/heapprof ./perf report -i perf.data --stdio > out
$ pprof ./perf /tmp/heapprof.000*
