When dynamic entries are used in the hierarchy mode with multiple events, the output might not be aligned properly. In the hierarchy mode, the each sort column is indented using total number of sort keys. So it keeps track of number of sort keys when adding them. However a dynamic sort key can be added more than once when multiple events have same field names. This results in unnecessarily long indentation in the output. For example perf kmem records following events: $ perf evlist --trace-fields -i perf.data.kmem kmem:kmalloc: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags kmem:kmalloc_node: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags,node kmem:kfree: trace_fields: call_site,ptr kmem:kmem_cache_alloc: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags kmem:kmem_cache_alloc_node: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags,node kmem:kmem_cache_free: trace_fields: call_site,ptr kmem:mm_page_alloc: trace_fields: page,order,gfp_flags,migratetype kmem:mm_page_free: trace_fields: page,order As you can see, many field names shared between kmem events. So adding 'ptr' dynamic sort key alone will set nr_sort_keys to 6. And this adds many unnecessary spaces between columns.
