+ When --total-cycles is specified, it supports sorting for all blocks by
+ 'Sampled Cycles%'. This is useful to concentrate on the globally hottest
+ blocks. In output, there are some new columns:
+
+ 'Sampled Cycles%' - block sampled cycles aggregation / total sampled cycles
+ 'Sampled Cycles' - block sampled cycles aggregation
+ 'Avg Cycles%' - block average sampled cycles / sum of total block average
+ sampled cycles
+ 'Avg Cycles' - block average sampled cycles
