It can be convenient to put a string value into a ptwrite payload as
a quick and easy way to identify what is being printed.
To make that useful, if the Intel ptwrite payload value contains only
printable ASCII characters padded with NULLs, then print it also as a
string.
Using the example program from the "Emulated PTWRITE" section of
tools/perf/Documentation/perf-intel-pt.txt:
$ echo -n "Hello" | od -t x8
0000000 0000006f6c6c6548
0000005
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./eg_ptw 0x0000006f6c6c6548
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data ]
$ perf script --itrace=ew intel-pt-events.py

Deprecation warnings are useful only for the developer, not an end user.
Display warnings only when requested using the python -W option. This
stops the display of warnings like:
tools/perf/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py:5102: DeprecationWarning:
an integer is required (got type PySide2.QtCore.Qt.AlignmentFlag).
Implicit conversion to integers using __int__ is deprecated, and
may be removed in a future version of Python.
err = app.exec_()
Since the warning can be fixed only in PySide2, we must wait for it to
be finally fixed there.

The 'Array' class is present in more than one python standard library.
In some versions of Python 3, the following error occurs:
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "tools/perf/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py", line 2658, in __init__
self.buffer = Array(c_char, self.buffer_size, lock=False)
TypeError: abstract class
This apparently happens because Python can be inconsistent about which
class of the name 'Array' gets imported. Fix by importing explicitly by
name so that only the desired 'Array' gets imported.

10 years leaves its mark! Python has evolved and so has its style guide.
Even with vim it is getting hard to follow the no longer valid
guidelines (spaces vs. tabs).
Autopep8 this code to modernize it!

Using Python version 3.8.2 and PySide2 version 5.14.0, time chart call tree
would not expand the tree to the result. Fix by using setExpanded().

[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.034 MB perf.data ]

Using ctrl-F ('Find') would not find 'unknown' because it matches id
zero. Fix by excluding id zero from selection.
Example:
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u uname
