    perf hists browser: Recalculate browser pointers after resort/decay · 900e14a8
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    In browsers that access dynamic underlying data structures, like in the
    hists browser and its hist_entry rb_tree, we need to revalidate any
    reference to the underlying data structure, because they can have gone
    away, decayed.
    
    This fixes a problem where after a while the top entries get behind the
    top of the screen, i.e. the top_idx stays at 0, which means it is at the
    first entry in the rb_tree when in fact it wasn't because the
    browser->top didn't got revalidated after the timer ran and the
    underlying data structure got updated.
