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.
