Charles Baylis 7768f8dada perf tools: Allow sorting by symbol size
Add new sort key 'symbol_size' to allow user to sort by symbol size, or
(more usefully) display the symbol size using --fields=...,symbol_size.

Committer note:

Testing it together with the recently added -q, to remove the headers,
and using the '+' sign with -s, to add the symbol_size sort order to
the default, which is '-s/--sort comm,dso,symbol':

  # perf report -q -s +symbol_size | head -10

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
