Now 'perf report' can show whole time periods with 'perf script', but the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually. It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number of samples for useful analysis. Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems. Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per hist entry. Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of samples. Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected sample. It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo. Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to some limitations in the slang ui code.

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.
