perf top: Add --branch-history option
Add --branch-history option, to act the same as that option does for
perf report.
Example:
$ cat tcallf.c
volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c;
__attribute__((noinline)) f2()
{
c = a / b;
}
__attribute__((noinline)) f1()
{
f2();
f2();
}
main()
{
while (1)
f1();
}
$ gcc -w -g -o tcallf tcallf.c
$ ./tcallf &
[1] 29409
$ perf top -e cycles:u -t $(pidof tcallf) --stdio --no-children --branch-history
PerfTop: 3819 irqs/sec kernel: 0.0% exact: 0.0% lost: 0/0 drop: 0/0 [4000Hz cycles:u], (target_tid: 29409)
