From 8649b6434ebc184e632a510c4121899481409c15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kim SeonYoung Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 17:16:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf report/top: Add a tip about source line numbers with overhead There is a existing tip as below. If you have debuginfo enabled, try: perf report -s sym,srcline However this tip only describe a condition to use --sort sym,scrline options. So there is lack of explanation in the tip. I think that it would be better to add a tip that exactly explains the feature of --sort srcline.
