            Bug ID: 29632
           Summary: [display text] Support units for the metrics
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.39
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: gprofng
          Assignee: vladimir.mezentsev at oracle dot com
          Reporter: ruud.vanderpas at oracle dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

The numbers shown with display text can be quite large. For example when
measuring hardware events like cache misses, or instructions executed.

To make the analysis easier, it will be helpful to use units, like K, M, G, and
T. For example "123 K instructions executed".

Ideally, the user can specify this through an option. By default, the current
formatting is used. This is to avoid that layered tools may otherwise break.
