+
+# To use this script you will need to have exported data using the
+# export-to-postgresql.py script. Refer to that script for details.
+#
+# Following on from the example in the export-to-postgresql.py script, a
+# call-graph can be displayed for the pt_example database like this:
+#
+# python tools/perf/scripts/python/call-graph-from-postgresql.py pt_example
+#
+# Note this script supports connecting to remote databases by setting hostname,
+# port, username, password, and dbname e.g.
+#
+# python tools/perf/scripts/python/call-graph-from-postgresql.py "hostname=myhost username=myuser password=mypassword dbname=pt_example"
+#
+# The result is a GUI window with a tree representing a context-sensitive
+# call-graph. Expanding a couple of levels of the tree and adjusting column
+# widths to suit will display something like:
+#
+# Call Graph: pt_example
+# Call Path Object Count Time(ns) Time(%) Branch Count Branch Count(%)
+# v- ls
+# v- 2638:2638
+# v- _start ld-2.19.so 1 10074071 100.0 211135 100.0

+# Points to note:
+# The top level is a command name (comm)
+# The next level is a thread (pid:tid)
+# Subsequent levels are functions
+# 'Count' is the number of calls
+# 'Time' is the elapsed time until the function returns

+# To use this script you will need to have installed package python-pyside which
+# provides LGPL-licensed Python bindings for Qt. You will also need the package
+# libqt4-sql-psql for Qt postgresql support.
+#
+# The script assumes postgresql is running on the local machine and that the
+# user has postgresql permissions to create databases. Examples of installing
+# postgresql and adding such a user are:
+#
+# fedora:
+#
+# $ sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server python-pyside qt-postgresql
+# $ sudo su - postgres -c initdb
+# $ sudo service postgresql start
+# $ sudo su - postgres
+# $ createuser <your user id here>
+# Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
+#
+# ubuntu:
+#
+# $ sudo apt-get install postgresql
+# $ sudo su - postgres
+# $ createuser <your user id here>
+# Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
+#
+# An example of using this script with Intel PT:
