'perf record' can switch its output data file. The new output should only store the data after switching. However, in overwrite backward mode, the new output still can have data from before switching. That also brings extra overhead. At the end of mmap_read(), the position of the processed ring buffer is saved in md->prev. Next mmap_read should be end in md->prev if it is not overwriten. That avoids processing duplicate data. However, md->prev is discarded. So next the mmap_read() has to process whole valid ring buffer, which probably includes old processed data. Avoid calling backward_rb_find_range() when md->prev is still available.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
