perf record,report,annotate,diff: Process events in order
This patch changes perf report to ask for the ID info on all events be default if recording from multiple CPUs. Perf report, annotate and diff will now process the events in order if the kernel is able to provide timestamps on all events. This ensures that events such as COMM and MMAP which are necessary to correctly interpret samples are processed prior to those samples so that they are attributed correctly.
