Subject: [PATCHSET 0/7] perf tools: Fix and cleanups for hierarchy mode (v2)

Hello,

These are filter-related fixes and cleanups in the new hierarchy mode.
Currently perf misbehaves in hierarchy mode when filter is applied.
For example, it sometimes misses some (upper level) entries in the
output or shows incorrect (very large) overhead.

 * Changes in v2)
  - update hist_entry__filter() to check multiple filters properly
  - add missing runtime filter check when adding hierarchy entries
  - recalculate total period using top-level entries  (Jiri)
  - add more comment
  

Before:

  $ perf report --hierarchy -s 'cpu,{dso,comm}' --comms swapper --stdio
  ...
  #    Overhead  CPU / Shared Object+Command
  # ...........  ...........................
  #
         13.79%     [kernel.vmlinux]  swapper
      31.71%     000
         13.80%     [kernel.vmlinux]  swapper
          0.43%     [e1000e]          swapper
         11.89%     [kernel.vmlinux]  swapper
          9.18%     [kernel.vmlinux]  swapper
    
After:

  #    Overhead  CPU / Shared Object+Command
  # ...........  ...............................
  #
      33.09%     003
         13.79%     [kernel.vmlinux]  swapper
      31.71%     000
         13.80%     [kernel.vmlinux]  swapper
          0.43%     [e1000e]          swapper
      21.90%     002
         11.89%     [kernel.vmlinux]  swapper
      13.30%     001
          9.18%     [kernel.vmlinux]  swapper


It's also available on 'perf/hierarchy-filter-v2' branch in my tree

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

any feedback are welcome.

Thanks,
