This patch removes the assumption of the bootgraph.pl script that the
timing information reported by PRINTK_TIME will contain at least one
entry with a time of less than 100 seconds.

Not all boards correctly reset the system timer and in many cases the
inital times reported by PRINTK_TIME is high. When this occurs the
bootchart.pl script fails to give any useful output.

This patch sets the $firsttime variable to the largest value expected
by PRINTK_TIME

powerpc has dot symbols, so the dmesg output looks like:

<4>[    0.327310] calling  .migration_init+0x0/0x9c @ 1
<4>[    0.327595] initcall .migration_init+0x0/0x9c returned 1 after 0 usecs

The below fixes bootgraph.pl so it handles this correctly.

It is useful for diagnosing boot performance to see where async function
calls are waiting on serialization...  this patch adds this
functionality to the bootgraph.pl script.

The waiting time is shown as a half transparent, gray bar through the
block that is waiting.

Dave Jones, in his blog, had some feedback about the bootchart script:
Primarily his complaint was that shorter delays weren't visualized.

The reason for that was that too small delays will have their labels
mixed up in the graph in an unreadable mess.

This patch has a fix for this; for one, it makes the output wider,
so more will fit.
The second part is that smaller delays are now shown with a
much smaller font for the label; while this isn't per se
readable at a 1:1 zoom, at least you can zoom in with most SVG
viewing applications and see what it is you are looking at.

When bootgraph.pl parses a file, it gives one row for each initcall's
pid.  But they are displayed in random (perl hash) order.  Let's
sort the pids by the start time of their first initcall instead.

This helps trace module initcalls, where each has a separate pid.
bootgraph.pl will show module initcalls during the initramfs; it may
also be adapted to show subsequent module initcalls.

As a perl novice, I would prefer to have the benefit of the interpreters'

When bootgraph.pl parses a file, it gives one row
for each initcall's pid. But only few of them will
be displayed => the longest.

This patch corrects it by giving only a rows for pids
which have initcalls that will be displayed.

The regexp used to match the start and the end of an initcall
are matching only on [a-zA-Z\_]. This rules out initcalls with
a number in them. This patch is fixing that.

David Sanders reported some issues with bootgraph.pl's display
of his sytems bootup; this commit fixes these by scaling the graph
not from 0 - end time but from the first initcall to the end time;
the minimum display size etc also now need to scale with this, as does
the axis display.

When optimizing the kernel boot time, it's very valuable to visualize
what is going on at which time. In addition, with the fastboot asynchronous
initcall level, it's very valuable to see which initcall gets run where
and when.

This patch adds a script to turn a dmesg into a SVG graph (that can be
shown with tools such as InkScape, Gimp or Firefox) and a small change
to the initcall code to print the PID of the thread calling the initcall
(so that the script can work out the parallelism).

When optimizing the kernel boot time, it's very valuable to visualize
what is going on at which time. In addition, with some of the initializing
going asynchronous soon, it's valuable to track/print which worker thread
is executing the initialization.
