I'd like to suggest you to add "symoff" sort key rather than "addr" key.
I think it's better since changes in one function would not affect to
others. It'd look like below..

$ perf report -s comm,dso,symoff
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol+Offset
# ........ .............. ................... ...............................
#
25.96% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] intel_idle+0x3c
8.51% kworker/9:0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] smp_call_function_many+0x1d
6.46% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] idle_enter_fair+0xa0
6.23% Xorg [kernel.kallsyms] [k] add_wait_queue+0x09
6.02% synergys libc-2.17.so [.] malloc+0x21


What do you think?

Thanks,
Namhyung
