v3:
---
1. Move the definitions of first_sample_time/last_sample_time from
perf_session and struct record to perf_evlist and update the
related code.
v2:
---
1. This patch creates a new header feature type HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME and related
ops. Save the first sample time and the last sample time to the feature
section in perf file header.
2. Add checking for last element in time range.
For example, select the first and second 10% time slices.
perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2
Note that now it includes the last element in [10%, 20%] but it
doesn't include the last element in [0, 10%). It's to avoid
the overlap.
Following patches are changed:
perf header: Record first sample time and last sample time in perf file
header
perf record: Get the first sample time and last sample time
perf util: Create function to perform multiple time range checking
v1: initial post
----------------
Current perf report/script/... have a --time option to limit the time
range of output. But it only supports the absolute time.
The patch series extend this option to let it support percent of time
and support the multiple time ranges.
For example:
1. Select the second 10% time slice
perf report --time 10%/2
2. Select from 0% to 10% time slice
perf report --time 0%-10%
It also support the multiple time ranges.
3. Select the first and second 10% time slices
perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2
4. Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices
perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
