[RFC/PATCH 14/38] perf tools: Convert dead thread list into rbtree

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Fri Oct 02 2015 - 01:24:01 EST


Currently perf maintains dead threads in a linked list but this can be
a problem if someone needs to search from it especially in a large
session which might have many dead threads. Convert it to a rbtree
like normal threads and it'll be used later with multi-thread changes.

The list node is now used for chaining dead threads of same tid since
it's easier to handle such threads in time order.
