[PATCH 06/24] perf report: Allow specifying event to be used as sort key in --group output
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Jin Yao <yao.jin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When performing "perf report --group", it shows the event group
information together. By default, the output is sorted by the first
event in group.
It would be nice for user to select any event for sorting. This patch
introduces a new option "--group-sort-idx" to sort the output by the
event at the index n in event group.
For example,
Before:
# perf report --group --stdio
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#

# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 12K of events 'cpu/instructions,period=2000003/, cpu/cpu-cycles,period=200003/, BR_MISP_RETIRED.ALL_BRANCHES:pp, cpu/event=0xc0,umask=1,cmask=1,
# Event count (approx.): 6451235635
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol

Now the output is sorted by the fourth event in group.
v7:
---
Rebase to latest perf/core, no other change.
v4:
---
1. Update Documentation/perf-report.txt to mention
'--group-sort-idx' support multiple groups with different
amount of events and it should be used on grouped events.
2. Update __hpp__group_sort_idx(), just return when the
idx is out of limit.
3. Return failure on symbol_conf.group_sort_idx && !session->evlist->nr_groups.
So now we don't need to use together with --group.
v3:
---
Refine the code in __hpp__group_sort_idx().
Before:
for (i = 1; i < nr_members; i++) {
if (i == idx) {
ret = field_cmp(fields_a[i], fields_b[i]);
if (ret)
goto out;
}
}
After:
if (idx >= 1 && idx < nr_members) {
ret = field_cmp(fields_a[idx], fields_b[idx]);
if (ret)
goto out;
}
