When we have multiple groups in an evlist, say:
$ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions},{cache-references,cache-misses}' sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
343,134 cycles:u
249,292 instructions:u # 0.73 insn per cycle
15,556 cache-references:u
8,925 cache-misses:u # 57.373 % of all cache refs
1.000957550 seconds time elapsed
$
Then the perf_evsel instances for the two group leaders ("cycles" and
"cache-references") will have evsel->nr_members set to 2, while all the
evsel->evlist->nr_entries will be set to 4, so we can't use
evsel->evlist->nr_entries everywhere, as event groups need to be taken
into account.
But this probably requires us to audit at least the forced-group code,
where we want all of the events to be in a "group", to see them all in
the screen, one column for each, even knowing that they were not
necessarily scheduled to count at the same time by the kernel perf
subsystem.
