This patch series adds support for Firefox's gecko profile format.
The format is documented here [1]

The series adds a new python script that can be used to convert the
perf script to gecko profile format. To use this script, use the
following commands:

perf record
perf script -F +pid > perf_data.txt
python3 firefox-gecko-converter.py > gecko_profile.json

Also dont forget to change the chown of the output file to the user[2].
