Ok, thanks for making this per-arch! Some comments:

I think we should have this marked permanently, i.e. not just when we go
to the jump line, something like this (testing here in a t450s
broadwell, function hc_find_func, /usr/lib64/liblzma.so.5.2.2):

It is like this now, when we are not on the jne jump line:

0.71 │ mov %r14d,%r10d ▒
│ movzbl (%rdx,%r10,1),%ebp ▒
1.06 │ 70: mov (%r9,%rcx,4),%ecx ◆
77.98 │ 74: cmp %bpl,(%rbx,%r10,1) ▒
│ ↑ jne 70 ▒
0.85 │ movzbl (%rdx),%r10d ▒
0.99 │ cmp %r10b,(%rbx) ▒

I think it should be augmented to:

0.71 │ mov %r14d,%r10d ▒
│ movzbl (%rdx,%r10,1),%ebp ▒
1.06 │ 70: ┌─mov (%r9,%rcx,4),%ecx ◆
77.98 │ 74: └─cmp %bpl,(%rbx,%r10,1) ▒
│ ↑ jne 70 ▒
0.85 │ movzbl (%rdx),%r10d ▒
0.99 │ cmp %r10b,(%rbx) ▒

I.e. no arrow, the two instructions that end up as one micro-op being
connected.

And then this:

│ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
81.93 │ │──je 20
│ │ lock cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
│ │↓ jne 29
│ │↓ jmp 43
11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)

Would look better as:

│ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
81.93 │ ├──je 20
│ │ lock cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
│ │↓ jne 29
│ │↓ jmp 43
11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)

Patch below, please test/ack :-)

This was the low hanging fruit, having the:

1.06 │ 70: ┌─mov (%r9,%rcx,4),%ecx ◆
77.98 │ 74: └─cmp %bpl,(%rbx,%r10,1) ▒

Marker always there, not just when we have the cursor on top of one of
those lines remains to be coded.

But you state:

------------
Macro fusion merges two instructions to a single micro-op. Intel core
platform performs this hardware optimization under limited
circumstances.
------------

"Intel core", what about older arches, etc, don't you have to look at:

# cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz
# cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,61,4

present in the perf.data header (or in the running system, for things
like 'perf top') to make sure that this is a machine where such "macro
fusion" takes place?
