Subject: [PATCH v6 2/3] perf env: Add helper to lazily compute the os_release
Date: Thu,  9 Apr 2026 16:06:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409230620.4176210-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409230620.4176210-1-irogers@google.com>

In live mode the os_release isn't being initialized, make a lazy
initialization helper that assumes when the os_release isn't
initialized this is live mode.
