Not on all terminals. For example my terminal will just cut anything
beyond the col limit:

# perf report --stdio
No kallsyms or vmlinux with build-id 122214021a666675f6e5ff97d70a85ce7139c0e7 was found
[kernel.kallsyms] with build id 122214021a666675f6e5ff97d70a85ce7139c0e7 not found, continuing without s
Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) were restricted, check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict bef

So we generally want to generate error messages to look good on col80
- it should not be hard here, right?

Thanks,

Ingo
