An event group is a critical relationship. There is a -g option that can
display the relationship. But it's hard for a user to know when should
this option be applied.
If there is an event group in the perf record, print a hint to suggest
the user apply the -g to display the group information.
With the patch,
$ perf record -e "{cycles,instructions},instructions" sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.024 MB perf.data (4 samples) ]
$
$ perf evlist
cycles
instructions
instructions
# Tip: use 'perf evlist -g' to show group information
$ perf evlist -g
{cycles,instructions}
instructions
$
Committer testing:
So for a perf.data file _with_ a group:
root@number:~# perf evlist -g
{cpu_core/branch-instructions/pp,cpu_core/branches/}
dummy:u
root@number:~# perf evlist
cpu_core/branch-instructions/pp
cpu_core/branches/
dummy:u
# Tip: use 'perf evlist -g' to show group information
root@number:~#
Then for something _without_ a group, no hint:
root@number:~# perf record ls
<SNIP>
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.035 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
root@number:~# perf evlist
cpu_atom/cycles/P
cpu_core/cycles/P
dummy:u
root@number:~#
No suggestion, good.

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 reStructuredText 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.
