perf report: Add 'typeoff' sort key
The typeoff sort key shows the data type name, offset and the name of
the field. This is useful to see which field in the struct is accessed
most frequently.
$ perf report -s type,typeoff --hierarchy --stdio
...
# Overhead Data Type / Data Type Offset
# ............ ............................
#
...
1.23% struct cfs_rq
0.19% struct cfs_rq +404 (throttle_count)
0.19% struct cfs_rq +0 (load.weight)
0.19% struct cfs_rq +336 (leaf_cfs_rq_list.next)
0.09% struct cfs_rq +272 (propagate)
0.09% struct cfs_rq +196 (removed.nr)
0.09% struct cfs_rq +80 (curr)
0.09% struct cfs_rq +544 (lt_b_children_throttled)
0.06% struct cfs_rq +320 (rq)
Committer testing:
Again with the perf.data from the previous csets:
# perf report --stdio -s type,typeoff
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

# Total Lost Samples: 0

# Samples: 4 of event 'cpu_atom/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P'
