[PATCH 10/15] perf report: Compare symbol name for inlined frames when sorting

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@xxxxxxxx>

Similar to the callstack frame matching, we also have to compare the
symbol name when sorting hist entries. The reason is twofold: On one
hand, multiple inlined functions will use the same symbol start/end
values of the parent, non-inlined symbol.

As such, all of these symbols often end up missing from top-level
report, as they get merged with the non-inlined frame. On the other
hand, multiple different functions may end up inlining the same
function, and we need to aggregate these values properly.

Before:

~~~~~
  perf report --stdio --inline -g none
  # Children     Self  Command       Shared Object Symbol
  # ........ ........  ............  ............. ...................................
  #
     100.00%   39.69%  cpp-inlining  cpp-inlining  [.] main
     100.00%    0.00%  cpp-inlining  cpp-inlining  [.] _start
     100.00%    0.00%  cpp-inlining  libc-2.25.so  [.] __libc_start_main
      97.03%    0.00%  cpp-inlining  cpp-inlining  [.] std::norm<double> (inlined)
      59.53%    4.26%  cpp-inlining  libm-2.25.so  [.] hypot
      55.21%   55.08%  cpp-inlining  libm-2.25.so  [.] __hypot_finite
