[PATCH v1 3/8] perf util: Improve error checking for time percent input

From: Jin Yao
Date: Wed Jan 10 2018 - 02:05:54 EST


The command line like 'perf report --stdio --time 1abc%/1' could be
accepted by perf. It looks not very good.

This patch uses strtod() to replace original atof() and check the
entire string. Now for the same command line, it would return error
message "Invalid time string".

root@skl:/tmp# perf report --stdio --time 1abc%/1
Invalid time string
