The typeoff sort key shows the data type name, offset and the name of
the field. This is useful to see which field in the struct is accessed
most frequently.
$ perf report -s type,typeoff --hierarchy --stdio
...
# Overhead Data Type / Data Type Offset
# ............ ............................

Committer testing:
Again with the perf.data from the previous csets:
# perf report --stdio -s type,typeoff
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

# Total Lost Samples: 0

# Samples: 4 of event 'cpu_atom/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P'

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.
