+ 3.00% find [kernel.kallsyms] [k] n_tty_write
+ 2.59% find [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 2.43% find find [.] knuth_morris_pratt_unibyte
+ 2.22% sshd sshd [.] 41841
+ 2.16% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mwait_idle
+ 1.65% find libc-2.12.so [.] __GI_vfprintf

Right now DSOs doesn't use brackets, just the kernel and modules, that
differentiates them from userspace DSOs, but then there is the next
column, where we have (under brackets) "k", "." or "H" for kernel,
userspace, hypervisor, so we can use this info to know the context, no
need for brackets around the DSO as well.

Arguably I'd remove also the brackets around the context, they also
don't convey useful information IMHO, and also would replace '.' with
'u', so it would become:

+ 3.00% find kernel k n_tty_write
+ 2.59% find kernel k _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 2.43% find find u knuth_morris_pratt_unibyte
+ 2.22% sshd sshd u 41841
+ 2.16% swapper kernel k mwait_idle
+ 1.65% find libc-2.12.so u __GI_vfprintf

Something else that is missing in the tui is a header with the names of
the columns, that is present in the stdio based formatter.
