Subject[PATCH] perf data: Add JSON export
Date
From ddcfd620e7cad4100d0076090c4b39dba8aeead3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] perf data: Add JSON export

This adds a feature to export perf data to JSON. It uses a minimal
inline JSON encoding, no external dependencies. Currently it only
outputs some headers and sample metadata but it's easily extensible.

Use it like this:

perf data convert --to-json out.json
