Subject: perf evlist: Try to avoid computing evsel from sample
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=675073ddf8779593ca32ee0cdf5371a420b87dd5;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

perf evlist: Try to avoid computing evsel from sample

As struct perf_sample now directly contains its own resolved evsel pointer,
passing the evsel separately is redundant and clutters the interface.

Remove the redundant evsel parameter from evlist-specific handlers and
structures, ensuring the tool always directly accesses the evsel bound to the
sample. This simplifies the API signatures and eliminates the risk of passing
an inconsistent evsel.
