[PATCH 15/17] perf report: Add --hierarchy option

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Sat Jan 16 2016 - 11:05:16 EST


The --hierarchy option is to show output in hierarchy mode. It extends
folding/unfolding in the TUI and GTK browsers to support sort items as
well as callchains. Users can toggle the items to see the performance
result at wanted level.

$ perf report --hierarchy --tui
Overhead Command / Shared Object / Symbol
+ 32.96% gnome-shell
- 15.11% swapper
- 14.97% [kernel.vmlinux]
6.82% [k] intel_idle
0.66% [k] menu_select
0.43% [k] __hrtimer_start_range_ns
...
