Re: [RFC/PATCH] perf tools: Fix segfault in cumulative.callchain report

Hi Jiri,

Currently, cumulative entries do not accounts annotation info so
annotation only works for normal entries.  I'm not sure we should
support it or not, but anyway it also needs some updates on the
annotation code IMHO.

So I'm okay with disabling annotation on pure cumulative entries.

Thanks,
Namhyung
