Subject: [PATCH v1 8/8] perf tools: Update debuginfo__new() to take DSO
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 22:50:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928055055.95144-9-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928055055.95144-1-namhyung@kernel.org>
It should be the common case to get debuginfo from existing DSOs.
Now dso__debuginfo() calls it with its debuginfo type to avoid the
unnecessary loop to find the location of debug file.
Update existing function to debuginfo__from_path() for clarity.
