It missed to decay periods in callchains when decaying hist entries.
This resulted in more than 100 percent overhead in callchains in the
fractal style output.

<title>perf tools: Skip dynamic fields not defined for current event</title>

When there are multiple events, each dynamic sort key is defined just
for one event.  In this case other events will always show "N/A" for
those fields.  But they are meaningless and consume precious screen
width.

Let's skip those undefined dynamic fields.

  $ perf record -e kmem:kmalloc,kmem:kfree -a sleep 1

  $ perf report -s 'comm,kmalloc.*' --stdio

Each tracepoint event has format string for print to improve
readability.  Try to parse the output and match the field name.  If it
finds one, use that for the result.  If not, fallbacks to the original
output.

For example, sort on kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags looks like below:
(Note: libtraceevent plugins are not installed on my system.  They might
affect the output below)

Before:
  # Overhead  Command   gfp_flags

       0.03%  perf          32976
       0.01%  perf            208

The raw_data and raw_size fields are to provide tracepoint specific
information.  They will be used by dynamic sort keys later.

This is a preparation to add more info into the hist_entry.  Also it
already passes too many argument, so passing sample directly will reduce
the overhead of the function call.

<title>perf top: Delete half-processed hist entries when exit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:61fa0e94ca6ab62db5e095a5528150bf9962196d</id>
<content type='text'>
After sample processing is done, hist entries are in both of
hists-&gt;entries and hists-&gt;entries_in (or hists-&gt;entries_collapsed).  So
I guess perf report does not have leaks on hists.

But for perf top, it's possible to have half-processed entries which are
only in hists-&gt;entries_in.  Eventually they will go to the
hists-&gt;entries and get freed but they cannot be deleted by current
hists__delete_entries().  This patch adds hists__delete_all_entries
function to delete those entries.

<title>perf hists: Fix hists_evsel to release hists</title>

<id>urn:sha1:17577decb2ddae28f5a449ddb79cf0ed3e2312c5</id>
<content type='text'>
Since hists__init doesn't set the destructor of hists_evsel (which is an
extended evsel structure), when hists_evsel is released, the extended
part of the hists_evsel is not deleted (note that the hists_evsel object
itself is freed).

This fixes it to add a destructor for hists__evsel and to set it up.

<title>perf hists: Do not skip elided fields when processing samples</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=e72655d97d24fff559b4ab59de791c3741a74c8c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:e72655d97d24fff559b4ab59de791c3741a74c8c</id>
<content type='text'>
If user gives a filter, perf marks the corresponding column elided and
omits the output.  But it should process and aggregates samples using
the field, otherwise samples will be aggregated as if the column was not
there resulted in incorrect output.

For example, I'd like to set a filter on native_write_msr_safe.  The
original overhead of the function is negligible.

  $ perf report | grep native_write_msr_safe
      0.00%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]  native_write_msr_safe
      0.00%  perf     [kernel.vmlinux]  native_write_msr_safe

However adding -S option gives different output.

  $ perf report -S native_write_msr_safe --percentage absolute | \
  &gt; grep -e swapper -e perf
     51.47%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]
      4.14%  perf     [kernel.vmlinux]

Since it aggregated samples using comm and dso only.  In fact, the above
values are same when it sorts with -s comm,dso.

  $ perf report -s comm,dso | grep -e swapper -e perf
     51.47%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]
      4.14%  perf     [kernel.vmlinux]

This resulted in TUI failure with -ERANGE since it tries to increase
sample hit count for annotation with wrong symbols due to incorrect
aggregation.

This patch fixes it not to skip elided fields when comparing samples in
order to insert them to the hists.
