# event_analyzing_sample.py: general event handler in python
#
# Current perf report is already very powerful with the annotation integrated,
# and this script is not trying to be as powerful as perf report, but
# providing end user/developer a flexible way to analyze the events other
# than trace points.
#
# The 2 database related functions in this script just show how to gather
# the basic information, and users can modify and write their own functions
# according to their specific requirement.
#
# The first function "show_general_events" just does a basic grouping for all
# generic events with the help of sqlite, and the 2nd one "show_pebs_ll" is
# for a x86 HW PMU event: PEBS with load latency data.

# the handling, which will cut the time down to several seconds.
