Currently topdown events must appear after a slots event:
$ perf stat -e '{slots,topdown-fe-bound}' /bin/true
Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':
3,183,090 slots
986,133 topdown-fe-bound
Reversing the events yields:
$ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (topdown-fe-bound).
For metrics the order of events is determined by iterating over a
hashmap, and so slots isn't guaranteed to be first which can yield this
error.
Change the set_leader in parse-events, called when a group is closed, so
that rather than always making the first event the leader, if the slots
event exists then it is made the leader. It is then moved to the head of
the evlist otherwise it won't be opened in the correct order.
The result is:
$ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true
Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':
3,274,795 slots
1,001,702 topdown-fe-bound
A problem with this approach is the slots event is identified by name,
names can be overwritten like 'cpu/slots,name=foo/' and this causes the
leader change to fail.
The change also modifies and fixes mixed groups like, with the change:
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
5574985410 slots
971981616 instructions
1348461887 topdown-fe-bound
2.001263120 seconds time elapsed
Without the change:
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
<not counted> instructions
<not counted> slots
<not supported> topdown-fe-bound
2.006247990 seconds time elapsed
Something that may be undesirable here is that the events are reordered
in the output.

The Topdown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors.
The Topdown metrics L1 event was added as default in 42641d6f4d
("perf stat: Add Topdown metrics events as default events")
From the Sapphire Rapids server and later platforms, the same dedicated
"metrics" register is extended to support both L1 and L2 events.
Add both L1 and L2 Topdown metrics events as default to enrich the
default measuring information if the new measurement register is
available.
On legacy systems there is no change to avoid extra multiplexing.
The topdown_level indicates the max metrics level for the top-down
statistics. Set it to 2 to display all L1 and L2 Topdown metrics events.

The Topdown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors. From the Ice Lake and later platforms, the
Topdown information can be retrieved from the dedicated "metrics"
register, which isn't impacted by other events. Also, the Topdown
metrics support both per thread/process and per core measuring. Adding
Topdown metrics events as default events can enrich the default
measuring information, and would not cost any extra multiplexing.
Introduce arch_evlist__add_default_attrs() to allow architecture
specific default events. Add the Topdown metrics events in the X86
specific arch_evlist__add_default_attrs(). Other architectures can add
their own default events later separately.
