    perf report: Implement --sort cpu · f60f3593
    Arun Sharma authored
    In a shared multi-core environment, users want to analyze why their
    program was slow. In particular, if the code ran slower only on certain
    CPUs due to interference from other programs or kernel threads, the user
    should be able to notice that.
    
    Sample usage:
    
    perf record -f -a -- sleep 3
    perf report --sort cpu,comm
    
    Workload:
    
    program is running on 16 CPUs
    Experiencing interference from an antagonist only on 4 CPUs.
