The 'e' key is to toggle expand/collapse the selected entry only. But
the current code has a bug that it only increases the number of entries
by 1 in the hierarchy mode so users cannot move under the current entry
after the key stroke. This is due to a wrong assumption in the
hist_entry__set_folding().
The commit b33f922651 ("perf hists browser: Put hist_entry folding
logic into single function") factored out the code, but actually it
should be handled separately. The hist_browser__set_folding() is to
update fold state for each entry so it needs to traverse all (child)
entries regardless of the current fold state. So it increases the
number of entries by 1.
But the hist_entry__set_folding() only cares the currently selected
entry and its all children. So it should count all unfolded child
entries. This code is implemented in hist_browser__toggle_fold()
already so we can just call it.

In 'perf report', entering a recursive function from inside of itself
(either directly of indirectly through some other function) results in
calling symbol__annotate2 multiple() times, and freeing the whole
disassembly when exiting from the innermost instance.
The first issue causes the function's disassembly to be duplicated, and
the latter a heap use-after-free (and crash) when trying to access the
disassembly again.
I reproduced the bug on perf 5.11.22 (Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS) and 5.16.rc8
with the following testcase (compile with gcc recursive.c -o recursive).
To reproduce:
- perf record ./recursive
- perf report
- enter fibonacci and annotate it
- move the cursor on one of the "callq fibonacci" instructions and press enter
- at this point there will be two copies of the function in the disassembly
- go back by pressing q, and perf will crash
#include <stdio.h>
int fibonacci(int n)
{
if(n <= 2) return 1;
return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2);
}
int main()
{
printf("%d\n", fibonacci(40));
}
This patch addresses the issue by annotating a function and freeing the
associated memory on exit only if no annotation is already present, so
that a recursive function is only annotated on entry.

Some x86 microarchitectures fuse a subset of cmp/test/ALU instructions
with branch instructions, and thus perf annotate highlight such valid
pairs as fused.
When annotated with source, perf uses struct disasm_line to contain
either source or instruction line from objdump output. Usually, a C
statement generates multiple instructions which include such
cmp/test/ALU + branch instruction pairs. But in case of assembly
function, each individual assembly source line generate one
instruction.
The 'perf annotate' instruction fusion logic assumes the previous
disasm_line as the previous instruction line, which is wrong because,
for assembly function, previous disasm_line contains source line. And
thus perf fails to highlight valid fused instruction pairs for assembly
functions.
Fix it by searching backward until we find an instruction line and
consider that disasm_line as fused with current branch instruction.

If the disasm is empty, 's' should fail. Instead it seemingly works,
hiding the empty lines and causing an assertion error on the next time
annotate is called (from within perf report).
The problem is caused by a buffer overflow, caused by a wrong exit
condition in annotate_browser__find_next_asm_line, which checks
browser->b.top instead of browser->b.entries.
This patch fixes the issue, making annotate_browser__toggle_source
fail if the disasm is empty (nothing happens to the user).

For a while we need to have a dummy event for doing things like
receiving PERF_RECORD_COMM, PERF_RECORD_EXEC, etc for threads being
created and dying while we synthesize the pre-existing ones at tool
start.
This 'dummy' event is needed for keeping track of thread lifetime events
early in the session but are uninteresting otherwise, i.e. no need to
have it in a initial events menu for the non-grouped case, i.e. for:
# perf top -e cycles,instructions
or even for plain:
# perf top
When 'cycles' and that 'dummy' event are in place.
The code to remove that 'dummy' event ended up creating an endless loop
for the grouped case, i.e.:
# perf top -e '{cycles,instructions}'
Fix it.

We now have a 'dummy' event to get perf metadata events that take place
while we synthesize metadata records for pre-existing processes by

In d10ec006dc ("perf hists browser: Allow passing an initial hotkey")
the hist_entry__title() call was cut'n'pasted to a function where the
'title' variable is a pointer, not an array, so the sizeof(title)
continues syntactically valid but ends up reducing the real size of the
buffer where to format the first line in the screen to 8 bytes, which
makes the formatting at the title at each refresh to produce just the

When performing "perf report --group", it shows the event group information
together. In previous patch, we have supported a new option "--group-sort-idx"
to sort the output by the event at the index n in event group.
It would be nice if we can use a hotkey in browser to select a event
to sort.
For example,
# perf report --group

This improvement is added to v6.
v2:
---
1. Report warning at helpline when index is invalid.
2. Report warning at helpline when it's not group event.
3. Use "case '0' ... '9'" to refine the code
4. Split K_RELOAD implementation to another patch.
