perf hists: Introduce hists__match_hierarchy()

Browse source

The hists__match_hierarchy() is to find matching hist entries in a
group.  A matching entry has the same values for all sort keys given.

With an event group (e.g.: -e "{cycles,instructions}"), a leader event
should show other members in a group.  So each entry in the leader
should be able to find its pair entries which have same values.

With hierarchy mode, it needs to search all matching children in a
hierarchy.

An example output looks like:

  #               Overhead  Command / Shared Object / Symbol
  # ......................  ..................................
  #
      25.74%  27.18%        sh
         19.96%  24.14%        libc-2.24.so
            9.55%  14.64%        [.] __strcmp_sse2
            1.54%   0.00%        [.] __tfind
            1.07%   1.13%        [.] _int_malloc
  ...

In the above example, two overheads are shown - one for the leader and
another for the other group member.  They were matched since their
command, dso and symbol have the same values.
