[PATCH 3/4] perf tools: Add 'addr' sort key

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Fri Sep 23 2022 - 13:32:24 EST


Sometimes users want to see actual (virtual) address of sampled instructions.
Add a new 'addr' sort key to display the raw addresses.

$ perf record -o- true | perf report -i- -s addr
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 12 of event 'cycles:u'
# Event count (approx.): 252512
#
# Overhead Address
# ........ ..................
#
42.96% 0x7f96f08443d7
29.55% 0x7f96f0859b50
14.76% 0x7f96f0852e02
8.30% 0x7f96f0855028
4.43% 0xffffffff8de01087

Note that it just compares and displays the sample ip. Each process can
have a different memory layout and the ip will be different even if they run
the same binary. So this sort key is mostly meaningful for per-process
profile data.
