Jin Yao 2a09a84c72 perf diff: Support hot streams comparison
This patch enables perf-diff with "--stream" option.

"--stream": Enable hot streams comparison

Now let's see example.

perf record -b ...      Generate perf.data.old with branch data
perf record -b ...      Generate perf.data with branch data
perf diff --stream

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
