perf tools powerpc: Cache the DWARF debug info
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. $ /tmp/perf.orig --version perf version 3.18.rc1.gc2661b80 $ /tmp/perf.new --version perf version 3.18.rc1.g402d62 $ perf stat -e cycles,instructions /tmp/perf.orig report -g > orig Performance counter stats for '/tmp/perf.orig report -g': 6,428,177,183 cycles # 0.000 GHz 4,176,288,391 instructions # 0.65 insns per cycle 1.840666132 seconds time elapsed $ perf stat -e cycles,instructions /tmp/perf.new report -g > new Performance counter stats for '/tmp/perf.new report -g': 305,773,142 cycles # 0.000 GHz 276,048,272 instructions # 0.90 insns per cycle 0.087693543 seconds time elapsed $ diff orig new $ Changelog[v2]: [Arnaldo Carvalho] Cache in existing global objects rather than create new static/globals in functions.
