Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] perf tools: Add option to show time history of event
samples
Adding more people to the CC, hope they can stick some Acked-by on the
final version of this patch.

Suggestion: Please put some example output on the commit log message,
that way reviewers can have a glimpse of how it looks like.

Please replace self with 'session', Thomas suggested that and I agreed
that its better. We'll slowly rename all those self variables.

--timehist
As you used:
+ OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "timehist", &time_history,
+ "Dump time history of event samples"),
In a branch I'm working on I'm using 'T' to mean "--sample_time", i.e.
to ask for just PERF_SAMPLE_TIME
