perf report: Support data type profiling
Enable type annotation when the 'type' sort key is used. It shows type of variables the samples access at the moment. Users can see which types are accessed frequently. $ perf report -s dso,type --stdio ... # Overhead Shared Object Data Type # ........ ................. ......... # 35.47% [kernel.kallsyms] (unknown) 1.62% [kernel.kallsyms] struct sched_entry 1.23% [kernel.kallsyms] struct cfs_rq 0.83% [kernel.kallsyms] struct task_struct 0.34% [kernel.kallsyms] struct list_head 0.30% [kernel.kallsyms] struct mem_cgroup ...
