[PATCH 01/52] perf annotate: Pass "-l" option to objdump conditionally

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Thu Nov 09 2023 - 19:00:25 EST


The "-l" option is to print line numbers in the objdump output.
perf annotate TUI only can show the line numbers later but it
causes big slow downs for the kernel binary.

Similarly, showing source code also takes a long time and it
already has an option to control it.

$ time objdump ... -d -S -C vmlinux > /dev/null
real 0m3.474s
user 0m3.047s
sys 0m0.428s

$ time objdump ... -d -l -C vmlinux > /dev/null
real 0m1.796s
user 0m1.459s
sys 0m0.338s

$ time objdump ... -d -C vmlinux > /dev/null
real 0m0.051s
user 0m0.036s
sys 0m0.016s

As it's not needed for data type profiling, let's make it conditional
so that it can skip the unnecessary work.
