perf report: Add -F option to specify output fields
The -F/--fields option is to allow user setup output field in any order. It can receive any sort keys and following (hpp) fields: overhead, overhead_sys, overhead_us, sample and period If guest profiling is enabled, overhead_guest_{sys,us} will be available too. The output fields also affect sort order unless you give -s/--sort option. And any keys specified on -s option, will also be added to the output field list automatically. $ perf report -F sym,sample,overhead ... # Symbol Samples Overhead # .......................... ............ ........ # [.] __cxa_atexit 2 2.50% [.] __libc_csu_init 4 5.00% [.] __new_exitfn 3 3.75% [.] _dl_check_map_versions 1 1.25% [.] _dl_name_match_p 4 5.00% [.] _dl_setup_hash 1 1.25% [.] _dl_sysdep_start 1 1.25% [.] _init 5 6.25% [.] _setjmp 6 7.50% [.] a 8 10.00% [.] b 8 10.00% [.] brk 1 1.25% [.] c 8 10.00% Note that, the example output above is captured after applying next patch which fixes sort/comparing behavior.
