Ian Rogers 347c2f0a09 perf parse-events: Sort and group parsed events
This change is intended to be a no-op for most current cases, the
default sort order is the order the events were parsed. Where it
varies is in how groups are handled. Previously an uncore and core
event that are grouped would most often cause the group to be removed:

```
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_total/}' -a sleep 1
WARNING: grouped events cpus do not match, disabling group:
  anon group { instructions, uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_total/ }
...
```

However, when wildcards are used the events should be re-sorted and
re-grouped in parse_events__set_leader, but this currently fails for
simple examples:

```
$ perf stat -e '{uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/}' -a sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

     <not counted> MiB  uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/
     <not counted> MiB  uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/

       1.000996992 seconds time elapsed
```

A futher failure mode, fixed in this patch, is to force topdown events
into a group.

This change moves sorting the evsels in the evlist after parsing. It
requires parsing to set up groups. First the evsels are sorted
respecting the existing groupings and parse order, but also reordering
to ensure evsels of the same PMU and group appear together. So that
software and aux events respect groups, their pmu_name is taken from
the group leader. The sorting is done with list_sort removing a memory
allocation.

After sorting a pass is done to correct the group leaders and for
topdown events ensuring they have a group leader.

This fixes the problems seen before:

```
$ perf stat -e '{uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/}' -a sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

            727.42 MiB  uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/
             81.84 MiB  uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/

       1.000948615 seconds time elapsed
```

As well as making groups not fail for cases like:

```
$ perf stat -e '{imc_free_running_0/data_total/,imc_free_running_1/data_total/}' -a sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

            256.47 MiB  imc_free_running_0/data_total/
            256.48 MiB  imc_free_running_1/data_total/

       1.001165442 seconds time elapsed
```

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.
