I think the default is good with the 'trace' sort key as it is now:

	$ ./perf report -s trace 
	  27.01%  offlineimap:17701 [120] S ==> swapper/1:0 [120]
	  27.00%  swapper/1:0 [120] R ==> offlineimap:17701 [120]


But for '--raw-trace' option rather than displaying fields in the '=' notation:

	$ ./perf report -s trace --raw-trace
	  27.01%   prev_comm=offlineimap prev_pid=17701 prev_prio=120 prev_state=1 next_comm=swapper/1 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
	  27.00%   prev_comm=swapper/1 prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=0 next_comm=offlineimap next_pid=17701 next_prio=120


it would be more readable to register all available columns as is possible to do now with:

	$ ./perf report -s prev_comm,prev_pid,prev_prio,prev_state,next_comm,next_pid,next_prio
	Overhead         prev_comm    prev_pid   prev_prio          prev_state         next_comm    next_pid   next_prio
	  27.01%       offlineimap       17701         120                   1         swapper/1           0         120
	  27.00%         swapper/1           0         120                   0       offlineimap       17701         120


it would be default output for 'perf report -s trace --raw-trace' command

how about that?

thanks,
