perf top: Support hotkey to change sort order
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 Overhead Shared Object Symbol 40.03% 45.71% 0.03% div [.] main 20.46% 14.67% 0.21% libc-2.27.so [.] __random_r 20.01% 19.54% 0.02% libc-2.27.so [.] __random 9.68% 10.68% 0.00% div [.] compute_flag 4.32% 4.70% 0.00% libc-2.27.so [.] rand 3.84% 3.43% 0.00% div [.] rand@plt 0.05% 0.05% 2.33% libc-2.27.so [.] __strcmp_sse2_unaligned 0.04% 0.08% 2.43% perf [.] perf_hpp__is_dynamic_en 0.04% 0.02% 6.64% perf [.] rb_next 0.04% 0.01% 3.87% perf [.] dso__find_symbol 0.04% 0.04% 1.77% perf [.] sort__dso_cmp When user press hotkey '2' (event index, starting from 0), it indicates to sort output by the third event in group (cache-misses). Samples Overhead Shared Object Symbol 4.07% 1.28% 6.68% perf [.] rb_next 3.57% 3.98% 4.11% perf [.] __hists__insert_output 3.67% 11.24% 3.60% perf [.] perf_hpp__is_dynamic_e 3.67% 3.20% 3.20% perf [.] hpp__sort_overhead 0.81% 0.06% 3.01% perf [.] dso__find_symbol 1.62% 5.47% 2.51% perf [.] hists__match 2.70% 1.86% 2.47% libc-2.27.so [.] _int_malloc 0.19% 0.00% 2.29% [kernel] [k] copy_page 0.41% 0.32% 1.98% perf [.] hists__decay_entries 1.84% 3.67% 1.68% perf [.] sort__dso_cmp 0.16% 0.00% 1.63% [kernel] [k] clear_page_erms Now the output is sorted by cache-misses. v2: --- Zero the history if hotkey is pressed.
