Yes sir, :)

Humm.. first of all, we can check the 'width' variable in two function
disasm_line__print() and symbol__annotate_printf() like below:


1063 static int disasm_line__print(struct disasm_line *dl, struct symbol 
*sym, u64 start,
1064                       struct perf_evsel *evsel, u64 len, int 
min_pcnt, int printed,
1065                       int max_lines, struct disasm_line *queue)
1066 {

...
1167         else {
1168                 int width = 8;
1169
1170                 if (queue)
1171                         return -1;
1172
1173                 if (perf_evsel__is_group_event(evsel))
1174                         width *= evsel->nr_members;
1175
1176                 if (!*dl->line)
1177                         printf(" %*s:\n", width, " ");
1178                 else
1179                         printf(" %*s:   %s\n", width, " ", dl->line);


And,

1794 int symbol__annotate_printf(struct symbol *sym, struct map *map,
1795                             struct perf_evsel *evsel, bool full_paths,
1796                             int min_pcnt, int max_lines, int context)
1797 {
...

1809         int width = 8;
...
1823         if (perf_evsel__is_group_event(evsel))
1824                 width *= evsel->nr_members;
1825
1826         graph_dotted_len = printf(" %-*.*s|     Source code & 
Disassembly of %s for %s (%" PRIu64 " samples)\n",
1827                                   width, width, 
symbol_conf.show_total_period ? "Event count" : "Percent",
1828                                   d_filename, evsel_name, 
h->nr_samples);

As you can see, currently the 'width' variables are set as 8 letters
But I adjust the width as 12 letters for the first column " Event count"
and period value.

So I do witdh += 4 for 12 letters like below:

   $ perf annotate --stdio --show-total-period -i hex2u64
  Event count |  Source code & Disassembly of old for cycles:ppp (102 
samples)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
              :
              :
              :
              :  Disassembly of section .text:
              :
              :  0000000000400816 <get_cond_maxprice>:
              :  get_cond_maxprice():
      1950346 :    400816:       push   %rbp
       741848 :    400817:       mov    %rsp,%rbp

We don't need to adjust the 'width' for --show-total-period ?
