[PATCH 07/12] perf diff: Add ratio computation way to compare hist entries

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Thu Sep 06 2012 - 11:51:03 EST


Adding -c option to select computation method with the current
'Delta' computation as default. Current posible values are of
this option are: 'delta' and 'ratio'.

Adding 'ratio' as new computation way to compare hist entries.
If specified the 'Ratio' column is displayed with value 'r'
computed as:

r = A->period / B->period

with:
- A/B being matching hist entry from first/second file specified
(or perf.data/perf.data.old) respectively.
- period being the hist entry period value
