Hi Stanislav,

Hmm.. I think that this patch tried to do many things at once.

1. introduce while loop: it's a behavioral change so that it can be a
separate patch.  But it seems not checking the process filter - in that
case the loop is almost useless IMHO.

2. new -n option: it should update Documentation/perf-timechart.txt
also.  And the long option name "number" is too general.

3. two if(proc_num): what is this?  Is it for patch 2?

Thanks,
Namhyung
