A recent change in the flamegraph script fixed an issue with live mode
but it created another for offline mode. It needs to pass "-" to -i
option to read from stdin in the live mode. Actually there's a logic
to pass the option in the perf script code, but the script was written
with "-- $@" which prevented the option to go to the perf script. So
the previous commit added the hard-coded "-i -" to the report command.
But it's a problem for the offline mode which expects input from a file
and now it's stuck on reading from stdin. Let's remove the "-i - --"
part and let it pass the options properly to perf script.

Currently, running "perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 1" should
produce flamegraph.html containing the flamegraph. Howevever, it gives a
segmentation fault.
This is caused because the flamegraph.py script is
supposed to take as input the output of "perf record", which should be
in stdin. This would require passing "-i -" to flamegraph.py. However,
the "flamegraph-report" script causes "perf script" command to take the
"-i -" option instead of flamegraph.py, which causes no problem for
"perf script", but causes a seg fault since flamegraph.py has no input
file. To fix this I added the "-i -" option directly to the
flamegraph-report script to ensure flamegraph.py gets input from stdin.

As all the other tools/perf/scripts/python/bin/*-{report,record}
scripts, fixing the this problem reported by Daniel Diaz:
Our OpenEmbedded builds detected an issue with 5287f9269206 ("perf
script: Add flamegraph.py script"):
ERROR: perf-1.0-r9 do_package_qa: QA Issue:
/usr/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/bin/flamegraph-report contained
in package perf-python requires /usr/bin/sh, but no providers found in
RDEPENDS_perf-python? [file-rdeps]
This means that there is a new binary pulled in in the shebang line
which was unaccounted for: `/usr/bin/sh`. I don't see any other usage
of /usr/bin/sh in the kernel tree (does not even exist on my Ubuntu
dev machine) but plenty of /bin/sh. This patch is needed:

This script works in tandem with d3-flame-graph to generate flame graphs
from perf. It supports two output formats: JSON and HTML (the default).
The HTML format will look for a standalone d3-flame-graph template file
in /usr/share/d3-flame-graph/d3-flamegraph-base.html and fill in the
collected stacks.
Usage:
perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60
perf script report flamegraph
Combined:
perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 60
Committer testing:
Tested both with "PYTHON=python3" and with the default, that uses
python2-devel:
Complete set of instructions:
$ mkdir /tmp/build/perf
$ make PYTHON=python3 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
$ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60
$ perf script report flamegraph
Now go and open the generated flamegraph.html file in a browser.
At first this required building with PYTHON=python3, but after I
reported this Andreas was kind enough to send a patch making it work
with both python and python3.
