[PATCHSET 0/7] perf tools: Update on filtered entries' percentage output (v8)

[Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>]

Hello,

I added --percentage option to perf report to control display of
percentage of filtered entries.

 usage: perf report [<options>]

        --percentage <relative|absolute>
                          how to display percentage of filtered entries

"relative" means it's relative to filtered entries only so that the
sum of shown entries will be always 100%.  "absolute" means it retains
original value before and after the filter applied.  In patch 9/9, I
made the "absolute" as default since it makes more sense IMHO.

      $ perf report -s comm
      # Overhead       Command
      # ........  ............
      #
          74.19%           cc1
           7.61%           gcc
           6.11%            as
           4.35%            sh
           4.14%          make
           1.13%        fixdep
      ...

      $ perf report -s comm -c cc1,gcc --percentage absolute
      # Overhead       Command
      # ........  ............
      #
          74.19%           cc1
           7.61%           gcc

      $ perf report -s comm -c cc1,gcc --percentage relative
      # Overhead       Command
      # ........  ............
      #
          90.69%           cc1
           9.31%           gcc

Note that it has zero effect if no filter was applied.

 * changes in v8:
  - don't touch irrelavant code (Arnaldo)
  - rebase to jolsa/perf/core_new

 * changes in v7:
  - rename ->nr_filtered_* to ->nr_non_filtered_* (Arnaldo)
  - remove an unneeded alignment change (Arnaldo)

 * changes in v6:
  - fix a bug in --stdio group report
  - reuse __hpp__fmt() function in TUI/GTK
  - add Acked-by from Jiri

 * changes in v5:
  - fix 0 samples in relative percent output (Jiri)
  - factor hists__total_period function (Jiri)
  - share config parsing code with option parser (Jiri)

 * changes in v4:
  - support perf top and perf diff also  (Jiri)
  - add HIST_FILTER__HOST/GUEST  (Jiri)
  - retain both of filtered and total stats  (Arnaldo)
  - add 'F' hotkey on TUI  (Jiri)
  - rename config variable to have "hist." prefix


You can get this on the 'perf/percentage-v8' branch in my tree
