perf report: Add 'symoff' sort key
The symoff sort key is to print symbol and offset of sample. This is useful for data type profiling to show exact instruction in the function which refers the data. $ perf report -s type,sym,typeoff,symoff --hierarchy ... # Overhead Data Type / Symbol / Data Type Offset / Symbol Offset # .............. ..................................................... # 1.23% struct cfs_rq 0.84% update_blocked_averages 0.19% struct cfs_rq +336 (leaf_cfs_rq_list.next) 0.19% [k] update_blocked_averages+0x96 0.19% struct cfs_rq +0 (load.weight) 0.14% [k] update_blocked_averages+0x104 0.04% [k] update_blocked_averages+0x31c 0.17% struct cfs_rq +404 (throttle_count) 0.12% [k] update_blocked_averages+0x9d 0.05% [k] update_blocked_averages+0x1f9 0.08% struct cfs_rq +272 (propagate) 0.07% [k] update_blocked_averages+0x3d3 0.02% [k] update_blocked_averages+0x45b ...
