Namhyung Kim 0dad79cf81 perf mem: Show absolute percent in mem_stat output
Currently the output sums up to 100% for each entry.  But it can be
confusing when it's displayed with 'overhead'.

Before:

  $ perf mem report -F overhead,sample,cache,comm
  ...
  #                         -------------- Cache --------------
  # Overhead       Samples       L1     L2     L3 L1-buf  Other  Command
  # ........  ............  ...................................  ...............
  #
      25.38%           517    34.6%   0.0%  15.8%  23.3%  26.2%  swapper
       9.03%           239    35.4%   0.8%   9.1%  22.1%  32.6%  chrome
       8.61%           233    45.3%   1.2%   8.9%  22.7%  21.9%  Chrome_ChildIOT
       7.81%           189    33.6%   0.4%   5.5%  35.9%  24.6%  Isolated Web Co
       3.73%           103    40.4%   0.3%   2.7%  39.4%  17.2%  gnome-shell

Let's convert it to use absolute percent value so that it can add up to
the overhead for that entry.

After:
  #                         -------------- Cache --------------
  # Overhead       Samples       L1     L2     L3 L1-buf  Other  Command
  # ........  ............  ...................................  ...............
  #
      25.38%           517     8.8%   0.0%   4.0%   5.9%   6.7%  swapper
       9.03%           239     3.2%   0.1%   0.8%   2.0%   2.9%  chrome
       8.61%           233     3.9%   0.1%   0.8%   2.0%   1.9%  Chrome_ChildIOT
       7.81%           189     2.6%   0.0%   0.4%   2.8%   1.9%  Isolated Web Co
       3.73%           103     1.5%   0.0%   0.1%   1.5%   0.6%  gnome-shell

This aligns well with the existing 'mem' sort key.

  $ perf mem report -s comm,mem -H
  ...
  #
  #    Overhead       Samples  Command / Memory access
  # .........................  ..........................................
  #
      25.38%           517     swapper
          8.78%           150     L1 hit
          6.66%            72     RAM hit
          5.92%           137     LFB/MAB hit
          4.02%           157     L3 hit
          0.00%             1     L3 miss
       9.03%           239     chrome
          3.19%           117     L1 hit
          2.94%            35     RAM hit
          1.99%            48     LFB/MAB hit
          0.82%            32     L3 hit
          0.08%             5     L2 hit
          0.00%             2     L3 miss

We can add an option or a config to change the setting later.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
