    perf time-utils: Refactor time range parsing code · 284c4e18
    Jin Yao authored
    Jiri points out that we don't need any time checking and time string
    parsing if the --time option is not set. That makes sense.
    
    This patch refactors the time range parsing code, move the duplicated
    code from perf report and perf script to time_utils and check if --time
    option is set before parsing the time string. This patch is no logic
    change expected. So the usage of --time is same as before.
    
    For example:
    
    Select the first and second 10% time slices:
      perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2
      perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2
    
    Select the slices from 0% to 10% and from 30% to 40%:
      perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
      perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
    
    Select the time slices from timestamp 3971 to 3973
      perf report --time 3971,3973
      perf script --time 3971,3973
    
    Committer testing:
    
    Using the above examples, check before and after to see if it remains
    the same:
    
      $ perf record -F 10000 -- find . -name "*.[ch]" -exec cat {} + > /dev/null
      [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.626 MB perf.data (42392 samples) ]
      $
      $ perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/report.before.1
      $ perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/script.before.1
      $ perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/report.before.2
      $ perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/script.before.2
      $ perf report --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/report.before.3
      $ perf script --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/script.before.3
    
    For example, the 3rd test produces this slice:
    
      $ cat /tmp/script.before.3
            cat  3147 180457.375844:   2143 cycles:uppp:      7f79362590d9 cfree@GLIBC_2.2.5+0x9 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)

    Install 'coreutils-debuginfo' to see cat's guts (symbols), but then, the
    above chunk translates into this 'perf report' output:

    Cool, just the 'perf report' tips changed, QED.
