    perf record,report,annotate,diff: Process events in order · eac23d1c
    Ian Munsie authored
    This patch changes perf report to ask for the ID info on all events be
    default if recording from multiple CPUs.
    
    Perf report, annotate and diff will now process the events in order if
    the kernel is able to provide timestamps on all events. This ensures
    that events such as COMM and MMAP which are necessary to correctly
    interpret samples are processed prior to those samples so that they are
    attributed correctly.
