Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo e4cc91b802 perf annotate: Support jumping from one function to another
For instance:

  entry_SYSCALL_64  /lib/modules/4.16.0-rc5-00086-gdf09348f78dc/build/vmlinux
    5.50 │     → callq  do_syscall_64
   14.56 │       mov    0x58(%rsp),%rcx
    7.44 │       mov    0x80(%rsp),%r11
    0.32 │       cmp    %rcx,%r11
         │     → jne    swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode
    0.32 │       shl    $0x10,%rcx
    0.32 │       sar    $0x10,%rcx
    3.24 │       cmp    %rcx,%r11
         │     → jne    swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode
    2.27 │       cmpq   $0x33,0x88(%rsp)
    1.29 │     → jne    swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode
         │       mov    0x30(%rsp),%r11
    8.74 │       cmp    %r11,0x90(%rsp)
         │     → jne    swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode
    0.32 │       test   $0x10100,%r11
         │     → jne    swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode
    0.32 │       cmpq   $0x2b,0xa0(%rsp)
    0.65 │     → jne    swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode

It'll behave just like a "call" instruction, i.e. press enter or right
arrow over one such line and the browser will navigate to the annotated
disassembly of that function, which when exited, via left arrow or esc,
will come back to the calling function.

Now to support jump to an offset on a different function...

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
