If specified the '[Program Block Range] Cycles Diff' column is displayed.
It displays the cycles difference of same program basic block amongst
two perf.data. The program basic block is the code between two branches.
'[Program Block Range]' indicates the range of a program basic block.
Source line is reported if it can be found otherwise uses symbol+offset
instead.
