Namhyung Kim 9b4525fd08 perf tools: Merge deferred user callchains
Save samples with deferred callchains in a separate list and deliver
them after merging the user callchains.  If users don't want to merge
they can set tool->merge_deferred_callchains to false to prevent the
behavior.

With previous result, now perf script will show the merged callchains.

  $ perf script
  ...
  pwd    2312   121.163435:     249113 cpu/cycles/P:

              7f18fe330e0f _dl_sysdep_start+0x7f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)

  ...

The old output can be get using --no-merge-callchain option.
Also perf report can get the user callchain entry at the end.

  $ perf report --no-children --stdio -q -S __build_id_parse.isra.0
  # symbol: __build_id_parse.isra.0

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.
