Subject: [PATCH v4 14/14] perf report: add addr_from/addr_to sort dimensions
From:   Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>

This patch adds a new pair of sorting dimensions used with branch sampling.
With the existing symbol_from/symbol_to, branches captured in the same
function would be collapsed into a single function if the latency (cycles)
was all the same.  That is the case on Intel Broadwell for instance. Since
Intel Skylake, the latency is captured by hardware and therefore is used to
disambiguate branches.

This patch adds addr_from/addr_to sort dimensions that will sort branches
based on their addresses and not the function there are in. The output is
still the function name but the offset within the function is provided to
uniquely identify each branch.  These new sort dimensions also help with
annotate because they create different entries in the histogram which, in
turn, generates proper branch annotation.

Here is an example using AMD's branch sampling:

$ perf record -a -b -c 1000037 -e cpu/branch-brs/ test_prg
