Add ability to sort results by absolute values of specified stats. This is especially useful to find biggest deviations in comparison mode. When comparing verifier change effect against a large base of BPF object files, it's necessary to see big changes both in positive and negative directions, as both might be a signal for regressions or bugs. The syntax is natural, e.g., adding `-s '|insns_diff|'^` will instruct veristat to sort by absolute value of instructions difference in ascending order.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
