[RFC/PATCH 1/2] perf script: Add --time-filter option

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed May 15 2013 - 05:24:12 EST

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

The --time-filter option is for limiting samples within a range of
time. A time range looks like <time1>-<time2> and at most one of them
can be omitted. For instance:

$ perf script --time-filter -2178446.12
...
xchat 1772 [002] 2178446.070330: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=xchat prev_pid=177
swapper 0 [002] 2178446.070338: power:cpu_idle: state=4 cpu_id=2
swapper 0 [001] 2178446.091952: sched:sched_wakeup: comm=synergys pid=1488 prio=
swapper 0 [001] 2178446.091958: power:cpu_idle: state=4294967295 cpu_id=1
swapper 0 [001] 2178446.091970: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/1 prev_pid
synergys 1488 [001] 2178446.091995: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=synergys prev_pid=
swapper 0 [001] 2178446.092003: power:cpu_idle: state=4 cpu_id=1
swapper 0 [001] 2178446.116997: sched:sched_wakeup: comm=synergys pid=1488 prio=
swapper 0 [001] 2178446.117004: power:cpu_idle: state=4294967295 cpu_id=1
swapper 0 [001] 2178446.117016: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/1 prev_pid
synergys 1488 [001] 2178446.117040: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=synergys prev_pid=
swapper 0 [001] 2178446.117048: power:cpu_idle: state=4 cpu_id=1

Above example only displays samples which have a timestamp before
2178446.120000.
