[ Upstream commit e8fedff1cc729fd227924305152ccc6f580e8c83 ]
Stephan reported, that pipe mode does not carry the group information and thus the piped report won't display the grouped output for following command:
# perf record -e '{cycles,instructions,branches}' -a sleep 4 | perf report
It has no idea about the group setup, so it will display events separately:
# Overhead Command Shared Object ... # ........ ............... ....................... # 6.71% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] 2.28% offlineimap libpython2.7.so.1.0 0.78% perf [kernel.kallsyms] ...
Fix GROUP_DESC feature record to be synthesized in pipe mode, so the report output is grouped if there are groups defined in record:
# Overhead Command Shared ... # ........................ ............... ....... # 7.57% 0.16% 0.30% swapper [kernel 1.87% 3.15% 2.46% offlineimap libpyth 1.33% 0.00% 0.00% perf [kernel ...
