[RFC 4/6] perf annotate: generalize handling of ret instructions

From: Ravi Bangoria
Date: Fri Jun 24 2016 - 07:54:43 EST


From: "Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce helper to detect ret instructions and use the same in the tui.
A helper is needed since some architectures such as powerpc have more
than one return instruction.
