Subject: [PATCH 06/44] perf script: Support relative time
From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>
When comparing time stamps in 'perf script' traces it can be annoying to
work with the full perf time stamps.
Add a --reltime option that displays time stamps relative to the trace
start to make it easier to read the traces.
Note: not currently supported for --time. Report an error in this
case.
Before:
% perf script

Committer notes:
Do not use 'time' as the name of a variable, as this breaks the build on
older glibcs:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-script.c: In function 'perf_sample__fprintf_start':
builtin-script.c:691: warning: declaration of 'time' shadows a global declaration
/usr/include/time.h:187: warning: shadowed declaration is here
