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.
