Jin Yao b40982e846 perf report: Fix wrong jump arrow
When we use perf report interactive annotate view, we can see
the position of jump arrow is not correct. For example,

1. perf record -b ...
2. perf report
3. In interactive mode, select Annotate 'function'

       │   │
       │   │                    s_randseed = time(0);
       │   │                    srand(s_randseed);
       │   │
       │   │                    for (i = 0; i < 2000000000; i++) {

 28.21 │0.48    17      ↑ jne    38

The jump arrow in above example is not correct. It should add the
width of IPC and Cycle.

With this patch, the result is:

Percent│ IPC Cycle
       │                                if (flag)
  1.37 │0.48     1     ┌──je     82
       │               │                        x += x / y + y / x;

       │               │
       │               │        s_randseed = time(0);
       │               │        srand(s_randseed);
       │               │
       │               │        for (i = 0; i < 2000000000; i++) {

Committer notes:

Please note that only from LBRv5 (according to Jiri) onwards, i.e. >=
Skylake is that we'll have the cycles counts in each branch record
entry, so to see the Cycles and IPC columns, and be able to test this
patch, one need a capable hardware.

While applying this I first tested it on a Broadwell class machine and
couldn't get those columns, will add code to the annotate browser to
warn the user about that, i.e. you have branch records, but no cycles,
use a more recent hardware to get the cycles and IPC columns.

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.
