When we use perf report interactive annotate view, we can see
the position of jump arrow is not correct. For example,
1. perf record -b ...
2. perf report
3. In interactive mode, select Annotate 'function'

The jump arrow in above example is not correct. It should add the
width of IPC and Cycle.
With this patch, the result is:

Committer notes:
Please note that only from LBRv5 (according to Jiri) onwards, i.e. >=
Skylake is that we'll have the cycles counts in each branch record
entry, so to see the Cycles and IPC columns, and be able to test this
patch, one need a capable hardware.
While applying this I first tested it on a Broadwell class machine and
couldn't get those columns, will add code to the annotate browser to
warn the user about that, i.e. you have branch records, but no cycles,
use a more recent hardware to get the cycles and IPC columns.

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.
