perf tools: Bind callchains to the first sort dimension column Currently, the callchains are displayed using a constant left margin. So depending on the current sort dimension configuration, callchains may appear to be well attached to the first sort dimension column field which is mostly the case, except when the first dimension of sorting is done by comm, because these are right aligned. This patch binds the callchain to the first letter in the first column, whatever type of column it is (dso, comm, symbol). Before: 0.80% perf [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify | | __fsnotify_parent After: 0.80% perf [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify | | __fsnotify_parent Also, for clarity, we don't put anymore the callchain as is but: - If we have a top level ancestor in the callchain, start it with a first ascii hook.

For volatile environments, stay tuned for the next perf tool feature: a buildid cache populated by 'perf record', managed by 'perf buildid-cache' a-la ccache, and used by all the report tools.
