perf tools: Add support for cycles, weight branch_info field
cycles is a new branch_info field available on some CPUs that indicates the time deltas between branches in the LBR. Add a sort key and output code for the cycles to allow to display the basic block cycles individually in perf report. We also pass in the cycles for weight when LBRs are processed, which allows to get global and local weight, to get an estimate of the total cost. And also print the cycles information for perf report -D. I also added printing for the previously missing LBR flags (mispredict etc.) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1437233094-12844-2-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
