[Patch v2 4/5] perf c2c: Show all memory regions in the region column
From: Dapeng Mi
Date: Sun Nov 08 2026 - 19:53:20 EST
The c2c memory-region column currently records only the last memory
region seen for an address. However, a single address can map to
multiple memory regions over the sampling window, so reporting only the
final one loses useful information.
Update the memory-region tracking to accumulate all sampled regions for
the address and display them together in the region column.
