perf evsel: Support printing callchains with arrows

The EVSEL__PRINT_CALLCHAIN_ARROW options can be used to print callchains with arrows for readability. It will be used 'sched timehist' command like below: __schedule <- schedule <- schedule_timeout <- rcu_gp_kthread <- kthread <- ret_from_fork __schedule <- schedule <- schedule_timeout <- rcu_gp_kthread <- kthread <- ret_from_fork __schedule <- schedule <- worker_thread <- kthread <- ret_from_fork Suggested-and-Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> Cc: David Ahern <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Stephane Eranian <[email protected]> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
