Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1ae14516cb perf map_groups: Add a front end cache for map lookups by name
Lets see if it helps:

First look at the probeable lines for the function that does lookups by
name in a map_groups struct:

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L map_groups__find_by_name
  <map_groups__find_by_name@/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:0>
        0  struct map *map_groups__find_by_name(struct map_groups *mg, const char *name)
        1  {
        2         struct maps *maps = &mg->maps;
                  struct map *map;

        5         down_read(&maps->lock);

        7         if (mg->last_search_by_name && strcmp(mg->last_search_by_name->dso->short_name, name) == 0) {
        8                 map = mg->last_search_by_name;
        9                 goto out_unlock;
                  }

       12         maps__for_each_entry(maps, map)
       13                 if (strcmp(map->dso->short_name, name) == 0) {
       14                         mg->last_search_by_name = map;
       15                         goto out_unlock;
                          }

       18         map = NULL;

           out_unlock:
       21         up_read(&maps->lock);
       22         return map;
       23  }

           int dso__load_vmlinux(struct dso *dso, struct map *map,
                                const char *vmlinux, bool vmlinux_allocated)

  #

Now add a probe to the place where we reuse the last search:

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf map_groups__find_by_name:8
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:map_groups__find_by_name (on map_groups__find_by_name:8 in /home/acme/bin/perf)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_perf:map_groups__find_by_name -aR sleep 1

  #

Now lets do a system wide 'perf stat' counting those events:

  # perf stat -e probe_perf:*

Leave it running and lets do a 'perf top', then, after a while, stop the
'perf stat':

  # perf stat -e probe_perf:*
  ^C
   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

               3,603      probe_perf:map_groups__find_by_name

        44.565253139 seconds time elapsed
  #

yeah, good to have.
