Subject: perf timechart: Add record support for output perf.data path
X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc1~61^2~23
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=830f1854c4a02d70d2d7d7e2e8f71cb3b928c0d6;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

perf timechart: Add record support for output perf.data path

The '-o' option exists for the SVG creation but not for `perf
timechart record`. Add to better allow testing.
