[PATCH 00/19] perf intel-pt: Add support for efficient time interval filtering

[Adrian Hunter]

Hi

Here are some patches to add support for efficient time interval filtering.
First there are 3 patches to add perf time interval to the itrace options
structure.  Then changes to Intel PT to support "fast forwarding" to a
particular timestamp.  The filtering is added in patch "perf intel-pt: Add
support for efficient time interval filtering".  After that there are
patches to time-utils, leading up to adding a new test and adding support
multiple explicit time intervals.

The Intel PT changes make time filtering much faster because decoding is
limited to the minimal time ranges needed to support the time intervals.
