perf diff: Add option to sort entries based on diff computation
Adding support to sort hist entries based on the outcome of selected computation. It's now possible to specify '+' as a first character of '-c' option value to make such sort. Example: $ perf diff -c ratio -b # Event 'cache-misses' # # Baseline Ratio Shared Object Symbol # ........ .............. ................. ................................ # 19.64% 0.69 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] clear_page 0.30% 0.17 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mm_alloc 0.04% 0.20 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kmem_cache_alloc $ perf diff -c +ratio -b # Event 'cache-misses' # # Baseline Ratio Shared Object Symbol # ........ .............. ................. ................................ # 19.64% 0.69 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] clear_page 0.04% 0.20 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kmem_cache_alloc 0.30% 0.17 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mm_alloc Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1349448287-18919-4-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
