4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Namhyung Kim <namhy...@kernel.org>
commit d9ea48bc4e7cc297ca1073fa3f90ed80d964b7b4 upstream.
Milian reported that the event group on TUI shows duplicated overhead.
This was due to a bug on calculating hpp->buf position. The
hpp_advance() was called from __hpp__slsmg_color_printf() on TUI but
it's already called from the hpp__call_print_fn macro in __hpp__fmt().
The end result is that the print function returns number of bytes it
printed but the buffer advanced twice of the length.
This is generally not a problem since it doesn't need to access the
buffer again. But with event group, overhead needs to be printed
multiple times and hist_entry__snprintf_alignment() tries to fill the
space with buffer after it printed. So it (brokenly) showed the last
overhead again.
The bug was there from the beginning, but I think it's only revealed
when the alignment function was added.
