Just sum up periods and then compute the percentage. The period sum computation already happens in the main view, and is displayed there. So you only need to save that value somewhere and then use it in the annotate display for another column. # Samples: 24 of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 8856637 -Andi -- ak@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only.
