perf script: Add flamegraph.py script
This script works in tandem with d3-flame-graph to generate flame graphs
from perf. It supports two output formats: JSON and HTML (the default).
The HTML format will look for a standalone d3-flame-graph template file
in /usr/share/d3-flame-graph/d3-flamegraph-base.html and fill in the
collected stacks.
Usage:
perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60
perf script report flamegraph
Combined:
perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 60
Committer testing:
Tested both with "PYTHON=python3" and with the default, that uses
python2-devel:
Complete set of instructions:
$ mkdir /tmp/build/perf
$ make PYTHON=python3 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
$ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60
$ perf script report flamegraph
Now go and open the generated flamegraph.html file in a browser.
At first this required building with PYTHON=python3, but after I
reported this Andreas was kind enough to send a patch making it work
with both python and python3.
