[PATCH v2 0/3] perf: introduce perf based task analyzer

[Petar Gligoric <petar.gligor@gmail.com>]

From: Petar Gligoric <petar.gligoric@rohde-schwarz.com>

This patch-series introduces the task analyzer and adds the feature to
output csv files for further analysis in thirds party script 
(e.g. pandas and friends). 

The task analyzer dissects recorded perf.data files based on
sched:sched_switch events. It outputs useful information for the user
of each task, like times between schedule in/schedule out of the same
task.

The user can modify the output to his liking and his necessity. He can
either limit the output to tasks he wants or filter tasks he does not
present in the output. The output can also be limited via the time or
specific tasks can be highlight via colors. A combination of those 
options is also possible.
Additionally the user can print out a summary of all tasks, which is a
table of information from all tasks throughout the whole trace.
Information, like total runtime, how many times the tasks have been 
scheduled in, what the max runtime was and when it occurred, just to 
name few.

The standard task as well as the summary can be printed in either
nanoseconds, milliseconds or microseconds(standard). 
Both standard as well as summary can be saved in a user specified file
in csv format.
