7 daysperf timechart: Add an interactive --tui modeAlice Rogers
Add ttimechart.py, a textual based interactive timechart, and a --tui option to perf timechart that launches it through perf script. Rather than writing an SVG file, per-CPU (busy, frequency and idle state), per-task (running, runnable and blocked) and I/O timelines are shown in the terminal along with a summary table. The timelines can be zoomed, panned and the state of the selected row at the cursor is described, including the task that woke it. The -i, -P, -T and -p options are passed to the script. The data is loaded in a background thread and the timelines are shown and updated as it loads. A --dump option prints a text summary without the UI.
