Do those Acked-by stand? Things changed, the values moved from the end
of the line to the start, etc.

You said you would consider having a --no-hists, but I see nothing about
it in this patchkit.

Some more comments below.

So, in this first one you show the percent in both

then here you _add_ the period to the hist_entry line, but...

_replace_ the percentage with the period in the callchains.

Can't we have the same effect in both? I.e. I would expect the 39.93% to
simply be replaced with that 13018705.

Ditto for count
