perf report: Add a simple GTK2-based 'perf report' browser
This patch adds a simple GTK2-based browser to 'perf report' that's based on the TTY-based browser in builtin-report.c. To launch "perf report" using the new GTK interface just type: $ perf report --gtk The interface is somewhat limited in features at the moment: - No callgraph support - No KVM guest profiling support - No color coding for percentages - No sorting from the UI - ..and many, many more! That said, I think this patch a reasonable start to build future features on.
