Excellent, I just tested it with:

# perf top --show-total-period -e '{cycles,instructions,cache-references,cache-misses}'

And the total period goes down for all evsels when that symbol is
quiescent between screen refreshes, and no crash, all seems to be
working as expected, thanks for fixing this!

Also when pressing 'A' the annotation also seems to be working.

All applied.
