Subject: [PATCH 0/3] perf tools: Fix scalability problem on callchain merging

Hello,

Linus reported that perf report was stuck in after "processing time
ordered events".  It turned out that merging/collapsing the callchain
takes most of time to look up a matching callchain.  Since it did a
linear search for the lookup, it took more than 95% of time during the
processing huge file that contains callchains.

This patchset tries to fix the problem by

 1. converting children list to a rbtree
 2. add UI progress window to inform user

With this patch, processing time of 400MB perf.data file went down
from 380s to 20s.

Thanks,
Namhyung
