Subject[RESEND PATCH v2] perf tools: fix callstack entries and nr print message
Date
From: Chengdong Li <chengdongli@tencent.com>

when generating callstack information from branch_stack(Intel LBR),
the actual number of callstack entry should be bigger than the number
of branch_stack, for example:

branch_stack records:
B() -> C()
A() -> B()
converted callstack records should be:
C()
B()
A()
though, the number of callstack equals
to the number of branch stack plus 1.

This patch fixes above issue in branch_stack__printf(). For example,

# echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd
# perf record --call-graph lbr bc -l < cmd

Before applying this patch, `perf script -D` output:
