[PATCHSET 0/5] perf annotate: Add --skip-empty option (v1)

[Namhyung Kim]

Hello,

This is to make perf annotate has the same behavior as perf report.
Especially in the TUI browser, we want to maintain the same experience
when it comes to display dummy events from perf report.

  $ perf mem record -a -- perf test -w noploop

  $ perf evlist
  cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P
  cpu/mem-stores/P
  dummy:u

Just using perf annotate with --group will show the all 3 events.

  $ perf annotate --group --stdio | head
   Percent                 |    Source code & Disassembly of ...
  --------------------------------------------------------------
                           : 0     0xe060 <_dl_relocate_object>:
      0.00    0.00    0.00 :    e060:       pushq   %rbp
      0.00    0.00    0.00 :    e061:       movq    %rsp, %rbp
      0.00    0.00    0.00 :    e064:       pushq   %r15
      0.00    0.00    0.00 :    e066:       movq    %rdi, %r15
      0.00    0.00    0.00 :    e069:       pushq   %r14
      0.00    0.00    0.00 :    e06b:       pushq   %r13
      0.00    0.00    0.00 :    e06d:       movl    %edx, %r13d

Now with --skip-empty, it'll hide the last dummy event.

  $ perf annotate --group --stdio --skip-empty | head
   Percent         |    Source code & Disassembly of ...
  ------------------------------------------------------
                   : 0     0xe060 <_dl_relocate_object>:
      0.00    0.00 :    e060:       pushq   %rbp
      0.00    0.00 :    e061:       movq    %rsp, %rbp
      0.00    0.00 :    e064:       pushq   %r15
      0.00    0.00 :    e066:       movq    %rdi, %r15
      0.00    0.00 :    e069:       pushq   %r14
      0.00    0.00 :    e06b:       pushq   %r13
      0.00    0.00 :    e06d:       movl    %edx, %r13d

The code is available in 'perf/annotate-skip-v1' branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

Thanks,
