perf diff: Make diff command work with evsel hists
Putting 'perf diff' command back on track with the 'latest' evsel hists changes. Each evsel has its own 'hists' object gathering stats for the particular event. While currently counts are accumulated for the whole session regardless of the events diversification within compared sessions. The 'perf diff' command now outputs all matching events within compared sessions (with event name specified). The per event diff output stays the same. $ ./perf diff # Event 'cycles' # # Baseline Delta Shared Object Symbol # ........ .......... ................. .............................. # 0.00% +15.14% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __wake_up 0.00% +13.38% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ext4fs_dirhash ...
