[PATCH 4/8] perf tools: Support multiple sort keys in a hierarchy

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Mar 02 2016 - 11:13:48 EST


This implements having multiple sort keys in a single hierarchy level.
Originally only single sort key is supported for each level, but now
using the ':' separator, user can set more than one sort key in a
level.

For example:

$ perf report --hierarchy -s comm:dso,sym
...
# Overhead Command / Shared Object / Symbol
# .............. ..........................................
#
48.67% swapper [kernel.vmlinux]
34.42% [k] intel_idle
1.30% [k] __tick_nohz_idle_enter
1.03% [k] cpuidle_reflect
8.87% firefox libpthread-2.22.so
6.60% [.] __GI___libc_recvmsg
1.18% [.] pthread_cond_signal@@GLIBC_2.3.2
1.09% [.] 0x000000000000ff4b
6.11% Xorg libc-2.22.so
5.27% [.] __memcpy_sse2_unaligned

In the above example, the command name and the shared object name are
shown on the same line but the symbol name is on the different line.
Since the first two are separated by ':', and the symbol is separated by
',' as usual.
