PATCH 1/1 perf, tools, report: Add srcline_from/to branch sort keys

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add srcline_from and srcline_to branch sort keys that allow to show the source lines of a branch. That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen in the program, for example to examine branch mispredictions, or to associate it with cycle counts:

% perf record -b -e cycles:p ./tcall
% perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,mispredict
...
