perf session: Fix Intel LBR callstack entries and nr print message
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: 1220022677386876 0x2a40 [0xd8]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4002): 17990/17990: 0x40a6d6 period: 894172 addr: 0 ...
