Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 9132d3d92d perf annotate: Add comment about annotated_src->nr_histograms
When we have multiple groups in an evlist, say:

  $ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions},{cache-references,cache-misses}' sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

           343,134      cycles:u
           249,292      instructions:u            #    0.73  insn per cycle
            15,556      cache-references:u
             8,925      cache-misses:u            #   57.373 % of all cache refs

       1.000957550 seconds time elapsed

  $

Then the perf_evsel instances for the two group leaders ("cycles" and
"cache-references") will have evsel->nr_members set to 2, while all the
evsel->evlist->nr_entries will be set to 4, so we can't use
evsel->evlist->nr_entries everywhere, as event groups need to be taken
into account.

But this probably requires us to audit at least the forced-group code,
where we want all of the events to be in a "group", to see them all in
the screen, one column for each, even knowing that they were not
necessarily scheduled to count at the same time by the kernel perf
subsystem.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
