perf timechart: Implement IO mode

2014-07-09T22:22:54Z

Currently, timechart records only scheduler and CPU events (task switches, running times, CPU power states, etc); this commit adds IO mode which makes it possible to record IO (disk, network) activity. In this mode perf timechart will generate SVG with IO charts (writes, reads, tx, rx, polls).

perf timechart: Add backtrace support

2013-11-27T17:58:37Z

Add -g flag to `perf timechart record` which saves callchain info in the perf.data. When generating SVG, add backtrace information to the figure details, so now it's possible to see which code path woke up the task and why some task went to sleep.

perf timechart: Add support for -P and -T in timechart recording

2013-11-27T17:58:37Z

If we don't want either power or task events we may use -T or -P with the `perf timechart record` command to filter out events while recording to keep perf.data small.
