perf report: Support folded callchain mode on --stdio
Add new call chain option (-g) 'folded' to print callchains in a line.
The callchains are separated by semicolons, and preceded by (absolute)
percent values and a space.
For example, the following 20 lines can be printed in 3 lines with the
folded output mode:
$ perf report -g flat --no-children | grep -v ^# | head -20
60.48% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle
54.60%
intel_idle
cpuidle_enter_state
cpuidle_enter
call_cpuidle
cpu_startup_entry
start_secondary
5.88%
intel_idle
cpuidle_enter_state
cpuidle_enter
call_cpuidle
cpu_startup_entry
rest_init
start_kernel
x86_64_start_reservations
x86_64_start_kernel
$ perf report -g folded --no-children | grep -v ^# | head -3
60.48% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle
54.60% intel_idle;cpuidle_enter_state;cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
5.88% intel_idle;cpuidle_enter_state;cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel
This mode is supported only for --stdio now and intended to be used by
some scripts like in FlameGraphs[1]. Support for other UI might be
added later.
