[PATCH 2/2] perf c2c: Show all memory regions in the region column

From: Dapeng Mi

Date: Fri Nov 06 2026 - 02:38:42 EST


The c2c memory-region column currently records only the last memory
region seen for an address. However, a single address can map to
multiple memory regions over the sampling window, so reporting only the
final one loses useful information.

Update the memory-region tracking to accumulate all sampled regions for
the address and display them together in the region column.
