Subject: [PATCH V2 3/4] perf scripts python: exported-sql-viewer.py: Add help window
Add a window to display help. It is also possible to display the help only, by
using the option "--help-only" instead of a database name.

+The result is a GUI window with a tree representing a context-sensitive
+call-graph. Expanding a couple of levels of the tree and adjusting column
+widths to suit will display something like:
+<pre>

+<h3>Points to note:</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>The top level is a command name (comm)</li>
+<li>The next level is a thread (pid:tid)</li>
+<li>Subsequent levels are functions</li>
+<li>'Count' is the number of calls</li>
+<li>'Time' is the elapsed time until the function returns</li>
+<li>Percentages are relative to the level above</li>
+<li>'Branch Count' is the total number of branches for that function and all functions that it calls
+</ul>
+<h3>Find</h3>
+Ctrl-F displays a Find bar which finds function names by either an exact match or a pattern match.
+The pattern matching symbols are ? for any character and * for zero or more characters.
+<h2 id=allbranches>1.2 All branches</h2>
+The All branches report displays all branches in chronological order.
+Not all data is fetched immediately. More records can be fetched using the Fetch bar provided.
+<h3>Disassembly</h3>
+Open a branch to display disassembly. This only works if:
+<ol>
+<li>The disassembler is available. Currently, only Intel XED is supported - see <a href=#xed>Intel XED Setup</a></li>
+<li>The object code is available. Currently, only the perf build ID cache is searched for object code.
+The default directory ~/.debug can be overridden by setting environment variable PERF_BUILDID_DIR.
+One exception is kcore where the DSO long name is used (refer dsos_view on the Tables menu),
+or alternatively, set environment variable PERF_KCORE to the kcore file name.</li>
+</ol>
+<h4 id=xed>Intel XED Setup</h4>
+To use Intel XED, libxed.so must be present. To build and install libxed.so:
+<pre>
+git clone https://github.com/intelxed/mbuild.git mbuild
+git clone https://github.com/intelxed/xed
+cd xed
+./mfile.py --share
+sudo ./mfile.py --prefix=/usr/local install
+sudo ldconfig
+</pre>
+<h3>Find</h3>
+Ctrl-F displays a Find bar which finds substrings by either an exact match or a regular expression match.
+Refer to Python documentation for the regular expression syntax.
+All columns are searched, but only currently fetched rows are searched.
+<h2 id=selectedbranches>1.3 Selected branches</h2>
+This is the same as the <a href=#allbranches>All branches</a> report but with the data reduced
+by various selection criteria. A dialog box displays available criteria which are AND'ed together.
+<h3>1.3.1 Time ranges</h3>
+The time ranges hint text shows the total time range. Relative time ranges can also be entered in
+ms, us or ns. Also, negative values are relative to the end of trace. Examples:
+<pre>
+ 81073085947329-81073085958238 From 81073085947329 to 81073085958238
+ 100us-200us From 100us to 200us
+ 10ms- From 10ms to the end
+ -100ns The first 100ns
+ -10ms- The last 10ms
+</pre>
+N.B. Due to the granularity of timestamps, there could be no branches in any given time range.
+<h1 id=tables>2. Tables</h1>
+The Tables menu shows all tables and views in the database. Most tables have an associated view
+which displays the information in a more friendly way. Not all data for large tables is fetched
+immediately. More records can be fetched using the Fetch bar provided. Columns can be sorted,
+but that can be slow for large tables.
+<p>There are also tables of database meta-information.
+For SQLite3 databases, the sqlite_master table is included.
+For PostgreSQL databases, information_schema.tables/views/columns are included.
+<h3>Find</h3>
+Ctrl-F displays a Find bar which finds substrings by either an exact match or a regular expression match.
+Refer to Python documentation for the regular expression syntax.
+All columns are searched, but only currently fetched rows are searched.
