New features:
- Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data' CTF
conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show callchains
and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)
Improvements:
- Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead when
groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using {} to
enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same time,
e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)
Fixes:
- Do not overwrite perf_sample->weight in 'perf annotate' when
processing samples, use whatever came from the kernel when
perf_event_attr.sample_type has PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT set or just handle
its default value, 0, when that is not set and "weight" is one of the
sort orders chosen (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- 'perf annotate --show-total-period' fixes:
- TUI should show period, not nr_samples
- Set appropriate column width for period/percent
- Fix the column header to show "Period" when when that is what
is being asked for
(Taeung Song, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Use default sort if evlist is empty, fixing pipe mode (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
