    perf tools powerpc: Cache the DWARF debug info · 7d073b33
    Sukadev Bhattiprolu authored
    Cache the DWARF debug info for DSO so we don't have to rebuild it for each
    address in the DSO.
    
    Note that dso__new() uses calloc() so don't need to set dso->dwfl to NULL.

    [Arnaldo Carvalho] Cache in existing global objects rather than create
                       new static/globals in functions.
