David,

Thanks for your review and explanation!

The code of commit_pager_choice():
static void commit_pager_choice(void)
{
	switch (use_pager) {
	case 0:
		setenv("PERF_PAGER", "cat", 1);
		break;
	case 1:
		/* setup_pager(); */
		break;
	default:
		break;
	}
}

setup_pager() is not called.

And it looks like kvm-events can not show the result properly if
i try to remove setup_pager.
