Switch to assuming python3. Fix minor pylint issues on line length, repeated compares, not using f-strings and variable case. Add type hints and check with mypy.

2025-06-24perf script: Add -e option to flamegraph scriptTianyou Li
When processing the perf data file generated with multiple events, the flamegraph script will count all the events regardless of different event names. This patch tries to add a -e option to specify the event name that the flamegraph will be generated accordingly. If the -e option omitted, the behavior remains unchanged.

2025-06-24perf script: Handle -i option for perf script flamegraphTianyou Li
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.

2023-01-19perf script flamegraph: Avoid d3-flame-graph package dependencyIan Rogers
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.

2020-06-22perf flamegraph: Explicitly set utf-8 encodingAndreas Gerstmayr

2020-04-16perf script: Add flamegraph.py scriptAndreas Gerstmayr
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.
