Hey,

Before:

[root@sandy ~]# perf diff
# Event 'cycles'
#
# Baseline Delta Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. ..................................
#
17.41% -17.41% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memset
0.38% -0.38% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] strlcpy
+48.19% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __blocking_notifier_call_chain
+46.96% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] radix_tree_lookup_slot
+4.66% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_close_on_exec
16.17% -16.17% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] final_putname
4.17% -4.17% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shift_arg_pages
30.74% -30.74% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfree
14.93% -14.93% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unlock_page
0.03% +0.15% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
16.17% -16.17% libc-2.12.so [.] _dl_addr

After:

[root@sandy ~]# perf diff
# Event 'cycles'
#
# Baseline Delta Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. ..................................
#
16.17% -16.17% libc-2.12.so [.] _dl_addr
+48.19% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __blocking_notifier_call_chain
14.93% -14.93% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unlock_page
30.74% -30.74% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfree
4.17% -4.17% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shift_arg_pages
16.17% -16.17% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] final_putname
+46.96% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] radix_tree_lookup_slot
+4.66% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_close_on_exec
0.03% +0.15% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
0.38% -0.38% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] strlcpy
17.41% -17.41% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memset
[root@sandy ~]#

Got inverted.

The order was arbitrary, and was arbitrarily reversed, are you guys sure this
is the only side effect?

Jiri, IIRC you mentioned that there would be some patch with an --order switch,
would that allow sorting by the entry that had the biggest change, etc?

Holding on this for now.
