Subject[PATCH 09/24] perf report: Cache cumulative callchains
Date
It is possble that a callchain has cycles or recursive calls.  In that
case it'll end up having entries more than 100% overhead in the
output. In order to prevent such entries, cache each callchain node
and skip if same entry already cumulated.
