[PATCH 1/4] perf hist: Remove formats in hierarchy when cancel children

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Mar 31 2025 - 03:38:06 EST


This is to support hierarchy options with custom output fields.
Currently perf_hpp__cancel_cumulate() only removes accumulated
overhead and latency fields from the global perf_hpp_list.

This is not used in the hierarchy mode because each evsel's hist
has its own separate hpp_list. So it needs to remove the fields
from the lists too. Pass evlist to the function so that it can
iterate the evsels.
