Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] perf annotate-data: Convert type histogram to hashmap
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 23:45:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914064535.1671939-2-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914064535.1671939-1-namhyung@kernel.org>
The type histogram maintains sample counts and periods per offset. Use
a hashmap instead of an array to reduce the memory overhead.
No functional changes intended.
