I hid the new option further in the changelog, so it isn't obvious. Sorry about that. Sample output: (perf report --stdio --physid-mode) So the option was '--physid-mode' and if you don't pass in a '--sort' then it takes the default sort of 'daddr,iaddr,pid,tid,major,minor,inode,inode_gen' Otherwise you could pass in a combination of the other fields. The output is not the best way to use the mmap2 data as it just gives you hottest data addresses. Our c2c tool really takes the data addresses and combines them into a cacheline and then processes the cacheline for interesting bottlenecks (HITMs in our case). I don't know a good way to present the data and yet still have the sort useful for our c2c tool. So I threw this interface together. I am open to suggestions.
