perf_counter tools: Prepare for 'perf annotate'
Prepare for the 'perf annotate' implementation by splitting off builtin-annotate.c from builtin-report.c. ( We keep this commit separate to ease the later librarization of the facilities that perf-report and perf-annotate shares. ) Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
