[PATCH/RFC v2 4/4] perf inject: Add --time-filter option

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Jun 03 2013 - 00:45:11 EST


From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

The --time-filter option is for limiting samples within a range of
time. A time range looks like <time1>-<time2> and at most one of them
can be omitted. This can be useful when analyzing a part of a huge
data only.

It's unclear how to specify a time range when used with a pipe. It
seems that we need to support relative time too.
