John,

Andi requested that the json metrics be disabled on x86 in


https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/12e0deef-08db-445f-4958-bcd5c3e10367@linux.intel.com/#t

If we do that, do you still think the --topdown=<arg> modification is
needed? I guess it would have to report an error if someone requests
--topdown=json-metrics on x86.

Thanks,
Andrew
