Use --symfs <dir> if your symbol files are in non-standard locations
To see callchains in a more compact form: perf report -g folded
Show individual samples with: perf script
Limit to show entries above 5% only: perf report --percent-limit 5
Profiling branch (mis)predictions with: perf record -b / perf report
Treat branches as callchains: perf report --branch-history

If you prefer Intel style assembly, try: perf annotate -M intel
For hierarchical output, try: perf report --hierarchy
Order by the overhead of source file name and line number: perf report -s srcline

   - Two fixes for the xen-blkfront driver"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  Revert "sd: remove __data_len hack for WRITE SAME"
  nvme-fc: use blk_rq_nr_phys_segments
  nvmet-rdma: Fix missing dma sync to nvme data structures
  nvmet: Call fatal_error from keep-alive timout expiration
  nvmet: cancel fatal error and flush async work before free controller
  nvmet: delete controllers deletion upon subsystem release
  nvmet_fc: correct logic in disconnect queue LS handling
  block: fix use after free in __blkdev_direct_IO
  xen-blkfront: correct maximum segment accounting
  xen-blkfront: feature flags handling adjustments
