[PATCH] perf annotate: Add --percent-limit option

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon May 02 2022 - 19:22:39 EST


Like in perf report and perf top, Add this option to limit the number
of functions it displays based on the overhead value in percent.

This affects only stdio and stdio2 output modes. Without this, it
shows very long disassembly lines for every function in the data
file. If users don't want this behavior, they can set a value in
percent to suppress that.

on - the samples period or the number of samples (hits).
