Without looking at the patch, just at its description of the problem, I
tried to annotate two events in a group, to get the annotate group view
output with both events, and it seems I'm getting samples accounted for
both events:
[root@five ~]# perf record -e '{branch-misses,branch-instructions}' -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.296 MB perf.data (2507 samples) ]

If I ask for number of samples:
[root@five ~]# perf config annotate.show_nr_samples=true
[root@five ~]# perf annotate --stdio2 v8::internal::ConcurrentMarking::Run

So it seems to be working, what am I missing? Is this strictly non
group related?
