[PATCH 1/1] perf/powerpc: Cache DWARF debug info

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

Cache the DWARF debug info for DSO so we don't have to rebuild it for
each address in the DSO (duh!).

	$ time /tmp/perf.orig report -g > /tmp/report.1

	real	0m1.845s
	user	0m0.963s
	sys	0m0.879s

	$ time /tmp/perf report -g > /tmp/report.2

	real	0m0.089s
	user	0m0.082s
	sys	0m0.006s

	$ diff /tmp/report.1 /tmp/report.2
	$
