The 4b3a321223 ("perf hists browser: Support flat callchains") commit
over-aggressively tried to optimize callchain_node__init_have_children().
That lead to --tui mode not allowing to expand call chain elements if a
call chain element had only one parent. That's why --inverted callgraphs
looked halfway sane, but plain ones didn't.
Revert that individual optimization, it wasn't really related to the
rest of the commit.

The context menu in TUI hists browser checks corresponding sort keys
when creating the menu item. But hotkey actions lacks these checks so
it can filter using incorrect info.
For example, default sort key of 'perf top' doesn't contain 'comm' or
'pid' sort key so each hist entry's thread info is not reliable. Thus
it should prohibit using thread filter on 't' key.

The commit 2eafd410e6 ("perf hists browser: Only 'Zoom into thread'
only when sort order has 'pid'") disabled thread filtering in hist
browser for the default sort key. However the he->thread is still valid
even if 'pid' sort key is not given. Only thing it should not use is
the pid (or tid) of the thread. So allow to filter by thread when
'comm' sort key is given and show pid only if 'pid' sort key is given.

The dynamic entries are right-aligned unlike other entries since it
usually has numeric value. But for the hierarchy mode, left alignment
is more appropriate IMHO. Also trim spaces on the left so that we can
easily identify the hierarchy.

When dynamic entries are used in the hierarchy mode with multiple
events, the output might not be aligned properly. In the hierarchy
mode, the each sort column is indented using total number of sort keys.
So it keeps track of number of sort keys when adding them. However
a dynamic sort key can be added more than once when multiple events have
same field names. This results in unnecessarily long indentation in the
output.
For example perf kmem records following events:
$ perf evlist --trace-fields -i perf.data.kmem
kmem:kmalloc: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags
kmem:kmalloc_node: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags,node
kmem:kfree: trace_fields: call_site,ptr
kmem:kmem_cache_alloc: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags
kmem:kmem_cache_alloc_node: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags,node
kmem:kmem_cache_free: trace_fields: call_site,ptr
kmem:mm_page_alloc: trace_fields: page,order,gfp_flags,migratetype
kmem:mm_page_free: trace_fields: page,order
As you can see, many field names shared between kmem events. So adding
'ptr' dynamic sort key alone will set nr_sort_keys to 6. And this adds
many unnecessary spaces between columns.

We were doing column alignment in the format function for each cell,
returning a string padded with spaces so that when the next column is
printed the cursor is at its column alignment.
This ends up needlessly printing trailing spaces, do it at the format
iterator, that is where we know if it is needed, i.e. if there is more
columns to be printed.
This eliminates the need for triming lines when doing a dump using 'P'
in the TUI browser and also produces far saner results with things like
piping 'perf report' to 'less'.
Right now only the formatters for sym->name and the 'locked' column
(perf mem report), that are the ones that end up at the end of lines
in the default 'perf report', 'perf top' and 'perf mem report' tools,
the others will be done in a subsequent patch.
In the end the 'width' parameter for the formatters now mean, in
'printf' terms, the 'precision', where before it was the field 'width'.

When there's only a single callchain, perf doesn't print its percentage
in front of the symbols. This is because it assumes that the percentage
is same as parents. But if a percent limit is applied, it's possible
that there are actually a couple of child nodes but only one of them is
shown. In this case it should display the percent to prevent
misunderstanding of its percentage is same as the parent's.
For example, let's see the following callchain.
$ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.01 --tui
...
- 0.06% sleep [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace
kmem_cache_alloc_trace
- perf_event_mmap
- 0.04% mmap_region
do_mmap_pgoff
- vm_mmap_pgoff
+ 0.02% sys_mmap_pgoff
+ 0.02% vm_mmap
+ 0.02% mprotect_fixup
Current code omits the percent if 'mmap_region' becomes the only node
when percent limit is set to 0.03%, its percent is not 0.06% but users
will assume it incorrectly.
Before:
$ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.03 --tui
...
0.06% sleep [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace
kmem_cache_alloc_trace
- perf_event_mmap
- mmap_region
do_mmap_pgoff
vm_mmap_pgoff
After:
$ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.03 --tui
...
0.06% sleep [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace
kmem_cache_alloc_trace
- perf_event_mmap
- 0.04% mmap_region
do_mmap_pgoff
vm_mmap_pgoff

If feed perf a symbol filter in cmdline and the result is empty,
pressing 'Enter' in the hist browser causes crash:
# ./perf report perf.data <-- Common mistake for beginners
Then press 'Enter':

This is because 'perf.data' is interpreted as a symbol filter, and the
result is empty, so selection is empty. However,
hist_browser__toggle_fold() forgets to check it.
This patch simply return false when selection is NULL.

With the following steps:
Step 1: perf report
Step 2: Use UP/DOWN to select an entry, don't press 'ENTER'
Step 3: Use '/' to filter symbols, use a filter which returns
empty result
Step 4: Press 'ENTER'
We see that, even if we have filtered all the symbols (and the main
interface is empty), pressing 'ENTER' still selects one symbol. This
behavior surprises the user.
This patch resets browser->{he_,}selection in hist_browser__refresh()
and lets it choose default selection. In this case
browser->{he_,}selection keeps NULL so user won't see annotation item in
menu.

Before this patch we can trigger a segfault by following steps:
Step 0: Use 'perf record' to generate a perf.data without callchain
Step 1: perf report
Step 2: Use UP/DOWN to select an entry, don't press 'ENTER'
Step 3: Use '/' to filter symbols, use a filter which returns
empty result
Step 4: Press 'ENTER' (notice here that the old selection is still
there. This is another problem)
Step 5: Press 'ENTER' to annotate that symbol
Step 6: Press 'LEFT' to go out.
Result: segfault:
perf: Segmentation fault

This is because in this case 'nd' could be NULL in
ui_browser__hists_seek(), but that function never checks it.
This patch adds checker for potential NULL pointer in that function.
After this patch the above steps won't segfault.
