If slots isn't with a topdown event then moving it is unnecessary. For
example {instructions, slots} is re-ordered:
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots}' -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
936,600,825 slots
144,440,968 instructions
1.006061423 seconds time elapsed
Which can break tools expecting the command line order to match the
printed order. It is necessary to move the slots event first when it
appears with topdown events. Add extra checking so that the slots event
is only moved in the case of there being a topdown event like:
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
2427568570 slots
300927614 instructions
551021649 topdown-fe-bound
1.001771803 seconds time elapsed

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.
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.
