It would be nice if we can use a hotkey in perf top browser to select a
event for sorting.
For example:
perf top --group -e cycles,instructions,cache-misses
Samples

When user press hotkey '2' (event index, starting from 0), it indicates
to sort output by the third event in group (cache-misses).

Since glibc 2.28 when running 'perf top --stdio', input handling no
longer works, but hitting any key always just prints the "Mapped keys"
help text.
To fix it, call clearerr() in the display_thread() loop to clear any EOF
sticky errors, as instructed in the glibc NEWS file
(https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=NEWS):
* All stdio functions now treat end-of-file as a sticky condition. If you
read from a file until EOF, and then the file is enlarged by another
process, you must call clearerr or another function with the same effect
(e.g. fseek, rewind) before you can read the additional data. This
corrects a longstanding C99 conformance bug. It is most likely to affect
programs that use stdio to read interactive input from a terminal.

'perf top' stopped working on hw architectures that do not provide a
get_cpuid() implementation and thus fallback to the weak get_cpuid()
default function.
This is done because at annotation time we may need it in the arch
specific annotation init routine, but that is only being used by arches
that do provide a get_cpuid() implementation:
$ find tools/ -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep 'evlist->env'
tools/perf/builtin-top.c: top.evlist->env = &perf_env;
tools/perf/util/evsel.c: return evsel->evlist->env;
tools/perf/util/s390-cpumsf.c: sf->machine_type = s390_cpumsf_get_type(session->evlist->env->cpuid);
tools/perf/util/header.c: session->evlist->env = &header->env;
tools/perf/util/sample-raw.c: const char *arch_pf = perf_env__arch(evlist->env);
$
$ find tools/perf/arch -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep -w get_cpuid
tools/perf/arch/x86/util/auxtrace.c: ret = get_cpuid(buffer, sizeof(buffer));
tools/perf/arch/x86/util/header.c:get_cpuid(char *buffer, size_t sz)
tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/header.c:get_cpuid(char *buffer, size_t sz)
tools/perf/arch/s390/util/header.c: * Implementation of get_cpuid().
tools/perf/arch/s390/util/header.c:int get_cpuid(char *buffer, size_t sz)
tools/perf/arch/s390/util/header.c: if (buf && get_cpuid(buf, 128))
$
For 'report' or 'script', i.e. tools working on perf.data files, that is
setup while reading the header, its just top that needs to explicitely
read it at tool start.

As this isn't used at all in mmap.h but in evlist.h, so to cut down the
header dependency tree, move it to where it is used.
Also add mmap.h to the places using it but previously getting it
indirectly via evlist.h.
Add missing pthread.h to evlist.h, as it has a pthread_t struct member
and was getting the header via mmap.h.
Noticed while processing a Jiri's libperf batch touching mmap.h, where
almost everything gets rebuilt because evlist.h is so popular, so cut
down't this rebuild the world party.

The event group feature links relevant hist entries among events so that
they can be displayed together. During the link process, each hist
entry in non-leader events is connected to a hist entry in the leader
event. This is done in order of events specified in the command line so
it assumes that events are linked in the order.
But 'perf top' can break the assumption since it does the link process
multiple times. For example, a hist entry can be in the third event
only at first so it's linked after the leader. Some time later, second
event has a hist entry for it and it'll be linked after the entry of the
third event.
This makes the code compilicated to deal with such unordered entries.
This patch simply unlink all the entries after it's printed so that they
can assume the correct order after the repeated link process. Also it'd
be easy to deal with decaying old entries IMHO.

Currently perf top only decays entries in a selected evsel. I don't
know whether it's intended (maybe due to performance reason?) but anyway
it might show incorrect output when event group is used since users will
see leader event is decayed but others are not.
This patch moves the decay code into perf_top__resort_hists() so that
stdio and TUI code shared the logic.

Just like 'perf trace' and 'perf script', should be useful for instance
to only consider samples after the initialization phase of some
workload.
The man page has some examples and considerations about its current
interface, that still doesn't handle the on/off events in a special way,
behaving just like when multiple events are specified, i.e.:
- In non-group mode (when the event list is not enclosed in {}) show a
a menu to allow choosing which event the user wants to see in the
histograms browser
- In group mode, be it using {} or asking for --group, show one column
per event.
Try for instance:
# perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,probe:icmp_rcv}' --switch-on=probe:icmp_rcv
Replace probe:icmp_rcv, that I put in place using:
# perf probe icmp_rcv:59
To hit when broadcast packets arrive, with a probe installed after an
initialization phase is over or after some other point of interest, some
garbage collection, etc, and also use --switch-off, for instance, on a
probe installed after said garbage collection is over.

Move the perf_event_attr struct fron 'struct evsel' to 'struct perf_evsel'.

[perfbuilder@a70e4eeb5549 /]$ gcc --version |& head -1

Also we don't need to include perf_event.h in
tools/perf/lib/include/perf/evsel.h, forward declaring 'struct
perf_event_attr' is enough. And this even fixes the build in some
systems where things are used somewhere down the include path from
perf_event.h without defining __always_inline.
