Subject: [PATCH RFC V2 3/3] perf script: Add callindent option

Based on patches from Andi Kleen.

When printing PT instruction traces with perf script it is rather useful to
see some indentation for the call tree. This patch adds a new callindent
field to perf script that prints spaces for the function call stack depth.

We already have code to track the function call stack for PT, that we can
reuse with minor modifications.

The resulting output is not quite as nice as ftrace yet, but a lot better
than what was there before.

Note there are some corner cases when the thread stack gets code confused
and prints incorrect indentation. Even with that it is fairly useful.

When displaying kernel code traces it is recommended to run as root, as
otherwise perf doesn't understand the kernel addresses properly, and may
not reset the call stack correctly on kernel boundaries.

Example output:

	sudo perf-with-kcore record eg2 -a -e intel_pt// -- sleep 1
	sudo perf-with-kcore script eg2 --ns -F callindent,time,comm,pid,sym,ip,addr,event,cpu --itrace=cre | less
