[PATCH V4 3/3] perf tool: Add sort key symoff for perf diff

From: kan . liang
Date: Tue Nov 18 2014 - 11:55:04 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

Sometime, especially debugging scaling issue, the function level diff
may be high granularity. The user may want to do deeper diff analysis
for some cache or lock issue. The "symoff" key can let the user sort
differential profile by ips. This feature should only work when the
perf.data comes from same binary.

Here is an example.
perf diff -s symoff v1_1_8_1perf.data v1_1_8_2perf.data
