With the '--group' option, even for non-explicit group, perf annotate
will enable the group output.

For example,

perf record -e cycles,branches ./div
perf annotate main --stdio --group

You forgot to make the first line to include the group event string,
i.e. for cycles,instructions it will show only this:

Percent | Source code & Disassembly of ld-2.26.so for cycles:u (1 samples)

I'm applying the patch, this can be done on top,

Oh, 'perf annotate --group' can show the group string but 'perf annotate --group --stdio' shows only one event.

I will check the '--stdio' and post a followup patch to fix that.

Thanks

But if without --group, there is only one event reported.

perf annotate main --stdio
