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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
