df9c299371 perf script: Handle -i option for perf script flamegraph
If specify the perf data file with -i option, the script will try to
read the header information regardless of the file name specified,
instead it will try to access the perf.data. This simple patch use the
file name from -i option for command perf report --header-only to read
the header.

b430d24367 perf script flamegraph: Avoid d3-flame-graph package dependency
Currently flame graph generation requires a d3-flame-graph template to
be installed. Unfortunately this is hard to come by for things like
Debian [1].

If the template isn't installed then ask if it should be downloaded from
jsdelivr CDN. The downloaded HTML file is validated against an md5sum.
If the download fails, generate a minimal flame graph with the
javascript coming from links to jsdelivr CDN.

v3. Adds a warning message and quits before download in live mode.
v2. Change the warning to a prompt about downloading and add the
    --allow-download command line flag. Add an md5sum check for the
    downloaded HTML.

c42ad5d435 perf flamegraph: Explicitly set utf-8 encoding
On some platforms the default encoding is not utf-8, which causes an
UnicodeDecodeError when reading the flamegraph template and writing the

5287f92692 perf script: Add flamegraph.py script
This script works in tandem with d3-flame-graph to generate flame graphs
from perf. It supports two output formats: JSON and HTML (the default).
The HTML format will look for a standalone d3-flame-graph template file
in /usr/share/d3-flame-graph/d3-flamegraph-base.html and fill in the
collected stacks.

Usage:

    perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60
    perf script report flamegraph

Combined:

    perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 60

Committer testing:

Tested both with "PYTHON=python3" and with the default, that uses
python2-devel:

Complete set of instructions:

  $ mkdir /tmp/build/perf
  $ make PYTHON=python3 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
  $ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
  $ perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60
  $ perf script report flamegraph

Now go and open the generated flamegraph.html file in a browser.

At first this required building with PYTHON=python3, but after I
reported this Andreas was kind enough to send a patch making it work
with both python and python3.
