An evsel idx may not be stable due to sorting, evlist removal,
etc. Try to reduce it being part of APIs by explicitly passing the
evsel in annotate code. Internally the code just reads evsel-&gt;core.idx
so behavior is unchanged.

hpp__width_fn() round up width to length of the field name,
hpp__fmt() should do it too. Otherwise, the numbers may
end up unaligned if the field name is long.

The only use of find_scripts is in browser/scripts.c but the
definition in builtin causes linking problems requiring a stub in
python.c. Move the function to allow the stub to be removed.

In the __hpp__fmt(), only 1 hpp_fmt_value is allocated for the current

However, the current implementation tries to assign the hists from all
members to the hpp_fmt_value, which exceeds the allocated memory.

<title>perf annotate-data: Show offset and size in hex</title>

<id>7a5c2170244b4f55588353e68ebbafc249597ee6</id>
<content type='text'>
It'd be better to have them in hex to check cacheline alignment.

 Percent     offset       size  field
  100.00          0      0x1c0  struct cfs_rq    {
    0.00          0       0x10      struct load_weight  load {
    0.00          0        0x8          long unsigned int       weight;
    0.00        0x8        0x4          u32     inv_weight;
                                    };
    0.00       0x10        0x4      unsigned int        nr_running;
   14.56       0x14        0x4      unsigned int        h_nr_running;
    0.00       0x18        0x4      unsigned int        idle_nr_running;
    0.00       0x1c        0x4      unsigned int        idle_h_nr_running;
  ...

Committer notes:

Justification from Namhyung when asked about why it would be "better":

Cache line sizes are power of 2 so it'd be natural to use hex and
check whether an offset is in the same boundary.  Also 'perf annotate'
shows instruction offsets in hex.

&gt;
&gt; Maybe this should be selectable?

I can add an option and/or a config if you want.

Committer notes:

Justification from Namhyung when asked about why it would be "better":

Cache line sizes are power of 2 so it'd be natural to use hex and
check whether an offset is in the same boundary.  Also 'perf annotate'
shows instruction offsets in hex.

&gt;
&gt; Maybe this should be selectable?

I can add an option and/or a config if you want.

Reusing the existing --total-cycles option to display the branch
counters. Add a new PERF_HPP_REPORT__BLOCK_BRANCH_COUNTER to display
the logged branch counter events. They are shown right after all the
cycle-related annotations.

Extend the 'struct block_info' to store and pass the branch counter
related information.

The annotation_br_cntr_entry() is to print the histogram of each branch
counter event. If the number of logged events is less than 4, the exact
number of the abbr name is printed. Otherwise, using '+' to stands for
more than 3 events.

Assume the number of logged events is less than 4.

The annotation_br_cntr_abbr_list() prints the branch counter's
abbreviation list. Press 'B' to display the list in the TUI mode.

Now default is to fold everything but it only shows the name of the
top-level data type which is not very useful.  Instead just expand the
top level entry so that it can show the layout at a higher level.

<title>perf annotate-data: Implement folding in TUI browser</title>

<content type='text'>
Like 'perf report', use 'e' or 'E' key to toggle folding the current
entry so that it can control displaying child entries.

Note I didn't add the 'c' and 'C' key to collapse the entry because it's
also handled with the 'e'/'E' since it toggles the state.

Committer testing:

Do some 'perf mem record' for some workload of the whole system, using
the target options, as usual (--pid/-p, -C/--cpu, -a for the system wide
profiling, etc) and then:

  # perf annotate --skip-empty --data-type=pthread_mutex_t

That, by default, will start as --tui, then press 'E' to see the whole
struct unfolded, etc.

Like 'perf report', use 'e' or 'E' key to toggle folding the current
entry so that it can control displaying child entries.

Note I didn't add the 'c' and 'C' key to collapse the entry because it's
also handled with the 'e'/'E' since it toggles the state.

Committer testing:

Do some 'perf mem record' for some workload of the whole system, using
the target options, as usual (--pid/-p, -C/--cpu, -a for the system wide
profiling, etc) and then:

  # perf annotate --skip-empty --data-type=pthread_mutex_t

That, by default, will start as --tui, then press 'E' to see the whole
struct unfolded, etc.
