[PATCH v4 0/4] perf report/annotate: Support average IPC and IPC coverage for function

[Jin Yao]

Add supporting of displaying the average IPC and IPC coverage
percentage per function.

For example,

$ perf record -b ...
$ perf report -s symbol or
  perf report -s symbol --stdio

Overhead  Symbol                           IPC   [IPC Coverage]
  39.60%  [.] __random                     2.30  [ 54.8%]
  18.02%  [.] main                         0.43  [ 54.3%]
  14.21%  [.] compute_flag                 2.29  [100.0%]
  14.16%  [.] rand                         0.36  [100.0%]
   7.06%  [.] __random_r                   2.57  [ 70.5%]
   6.85%  [.] rand@plt                     0.00  [  0.0%]
  ...

$ perf annotate --stdio2

v4:
---
    Add a new patch "perf report: Documentation average IPC and IPC coverage"
    to explain the new columns "IPC" and "IPC Coverage".

    Other patches are not changed.

v3:
---
    Remove the sortkey "ipc" from command-line. The columns "IPC"
    and "[IPC Coverage]" are automatically enabled when "symbol"
    is specified.

    Patch "perf report: Display average IPC and IPC coverage per symbol"
    is impacted.

v2:
---
  1. Merge in Jiri's patch to support stdio mode

  2. Add a new patch "perf annotate: Create a annotate2 flag
     in struct symbol" which records if the symbol has been
     annotated yet.

  3. Minor update such as adding { } for multiline code in 'if'
     condition.

Jin Yao (4):
  perf annotate: Compute average IPC and IPC coverage per symbol
  perf annotate: Create a annotate2 flag in struct symbol
  perf report: Display average IPC and IPC coverage per symbol
  perf report: Documentation average IPC and IPC coverage
