Subject: [PATCHSET 0/7] perf sched: Introduce timehist command, again (v2)

Hello,

This patchset is a rebased version of David's sched timehist work [1].
I plan to improve perf sched command more and think that having
timehist command before the work looks good.  It seems David is busy
these days, so I'm retrying it by myself.

 * changes in v2)
  - change name 'b/n time' to 'wait time'  (Ingo)
  - show arrow between functions in the callchain  (Ingo)
  - fix a bug in calculating initial run time
  
This implements only basic feature and a few options.  I just split
the patch to make it easier to review and did some cosmetic changes.
More patches will come later.

The below is from the David's original description (w/ slight change):

------------------------8<-------------------------
'perf sched timehist' provides an analysis of scheduling events.

Example usage:
    perf sched record -- sleep 1
    perf sched timehist

By default it shows the individual schedule events, including the time between
sched-in events for the task, the task scheduling delay (time between wakeup
and actually running) and run time for the task:

           time cpu  task name[tid/pid]   wait time sch delay  run time

Times are in msec.usec.

If callchains were recorded they are appended to the line with a default stack depth of 5:

--no-call-graph can be used to not show the callchains. --max-stack is used
to control the number of frames shown (default of 5). -x/--excl options can
be used to collapse redundant callchains to get more relevant data on screen.

Similar to perf-trace -s and -S can be used to dump a statistical summary
without or with events (respectively). Statistics include min run time,
average run time and max run time. Stats are also shown for run time by
cpu.

The cpu-visual option provides a visual aid for sched switches by cpu:
