Subject[PATCH 06/44] perf script: Support relative time
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

When comparing time stamps in 'perf script' traces it can be annoying to
work with the full perf time stamps.

Add a --reltime option that displays time stamps relative to the trace
start to make it easier to read the traces.

Note: not currently supported for --time. Report an error in this
case.

Before:

% perf script
swapper 0 [000] 245402.891216: 1 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa0068814 native_write_msr+0x4 ([kernel.kallsyms])
swapper 0 [000] 245402.891223: 1 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa0068814 native_write_msr+0x4 ([kernel.kallsyms])
swapper 0 [000] 245402.891227: 5 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa0068814 native_write_msr+0x4 ([kernel.kallsyms])
swapper 0 [000] 245402.891231: 41 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa0068816 native_write_msr+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms])
swapper 0 [000] 245402.891235: 355 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa000dd51 intel_bts_enable_local+0x21 ([kernel.kallsyms])
swapper 0 [000] 245402.891239: 3084 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa0a0150a end_repeat_nmi+0x48 ([kernel.kallsyms])

After:

% perf script --reltime

swapper 0 [000] 0.000000: 1 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa0068814 native_write_msr+0x4 ([kernel.kallsyms])
swapper 0 [000] 0.000006: 1 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa0068814 native_write_msr+0x4 ([kernel.kallsyms])
swapper 0 [000] 0.000010: 5 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa0068814 native_write_msr+0x4 ([kernel.kallsyms])
swapper 0 [000] 0.000014: 41 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa0068816 native_write_msr+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms])
swapper 0 [000] 0.000018: 355 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa000dd51 intel_bts_enable_local+0x21 ([kernel.kallsyms])
swapper 0 [000] 0.000022: 3084 cycles:ppp: ffffffffa0a0150a end_repeat_nmi+0x48 ([kernel.kallsyms])

Committer notes:

Do not use 'time' as the name of a variable, as this breaks the build on
older glibcs:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-script.c: In function 'perf_sample__fprintf_start':
builtin-script.c:691: warning: declaration of 'time' shadows a global declaration
/usr/include/time.h:187: warning: shadowed declaration is here
