Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 11/15] perf python: Add python session abstraction
wrapping perf's session
Sessions are necessary to be able to use perf.data files within a
tool. Add a wrapper python type that incorporates the tool. Allow a
sample callback to be passed when creating the session. When
process_events is run this callback will be called, if supplied, for
sample events.
An example use looks like:
```
$ perf record -e cycles,instructions -a sleep 3
$ PYTHONPATH=..../perf/python python3
Python 3.13.7 (main, Aug 20 2025, 22:17:40) [GCC 14.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import perf
>>> count=0
... def handle_sample(x):
... global count
... if count < 3:
... print(dir(x))
... count = count + 1
... perf.session(perf.data("perf.data"),sample=handle_sample).process_events()
...
