Subject[RFC PATCH 7/8] perf probe powerpc: Use DWARF info only if necessary
Date
Use symbol table lookups by default if DWARF is not necessary, since
powerpc ABIv2 encodes local entry points in the symbol table and the
function entry address in DWARF may not be appropriate for kprobes,
as described here:
