[PATCH v1 1/2] perf annotate: Record the max/min cycles

From: Jin Yao
Date: Thu May 17 2018 - 02:07:59 EST


Currently perf has a feature to account cycles for LBRs

For example, on skylake,
perf record -b ...
perf report or perf annotate

And then browsing the annotate browser gives average cycle counts
for program blocks.

For some analysis it would be useful if we could know not only
the average cycles but also the max and min cycles.

This patch records the max and min cycles.
