PATCH 1/3 perf report: Show progress bar for output resorting

From: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]>

Sometimes it takes a long time to resort hist entries for output in case of a large data file. Show a progress bar window and inform user.

PATCH 2/3 perf ui/tui: Print backtrace symbols when segfault occurs

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

The output will look like below. (I added an error into ui__init() for the test).

PATCH 3/3 perf callchain: Append callchains only when requested

In reply to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]>

The perf report --children can be called with callchain disabled so no need to append callchains. Actually the root of callchain tree is not initialized properly in this case.
