Subject: perf tools: Compare hists comm by addresses
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fedd63d3cdc9004df43b02df5c874b8957992fe8;p=linux-beck.git

perf tools: Compare hists comm by addresses

Now that comm strings are allocated only once and refcounted to be shared
among threads, these can now be safely compared by addresses. This
should remove most hists collapses on post processing.
