perf script: Remove the time slices number limitation
Previously it was only allowed to use at most 10 time slices in 'perf script --time'. This patch removes this limitation. For example, following command line is OK (12 time slices) perf script --time 1%/1,1%/2,1%/3,1%/4,1%/5,1%/6,1%/7,1%/8,1%/9,1%/10,1%/11,1%/12 Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Suggested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1515596433-24653-9-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.com [ No need to check for NULL to call free, use zfree ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
