    perf report: Add srcline_from/to branch sort keys · 508be0df
    Andi Kleen authored
    Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys that allow to show
    the source lines of a branch.
    
    That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen
    in the program, for example to examine branch mispredictions, or to
    associate it with cycle counts:
    
      % perf record -b -e cycles:p ./tcall
      % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,mispredict
      ...
