[PATCH v2 03/11] perf tools report: Parse time quantum

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Many workloads change over time. perf report currently aggregates
the whole time range reported in perf.data.

This patch adds an option for a time quantum to quantisize the
perf.data over time.

This just adds the option, will be used in follow on patches
for a time sort key.

Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

v2:
Move time_quantum to symbol_conf. check for zero time quantum
