[PATCH 3/3] perf report: Enable the runtime switching of perf data file

From: Feng Tang
Date: Tue Nov 20 2012 - 04:31:59 EST


This is for tui browser only. This patch will check the returned
key of tui hists browser, if it's K_SWITH_INPUT_DATA, then recreate
a session for the new selected data file.
