[PATCHv3 0/3] perf python: Add support to access tracepoint fields

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

hi,
adding support to access tracepoint fields in python scripts.

v3 changes:
  - once again fixed is_printable_array [Steven]
  - patch 3/3 already merged
  - added new patch 3/3 with automated test for is_printable_array

v2 changes:
  - most of the patches is already pulled in,
    this is just leftover
  - fixed is_printable_array [Steven]
  - making is_printable_array global
  - attached unrelated fix 3/3

With this patchset it's possible to access tracepoint fields
in event python object like:

  print "time %u prev_comm=%s prev_pid=%d prev_prio=%d prev_state=0x%x ==> next_comm=%s next_pid=%d next_prio=%d" % (
         event.sample_time,
         event.prev_comm,
         event.prev_pid,
         event.prev_prio,
         event.prev_state,
         event.next_comm,
         event.next_pid,
         event.next_prio)
