Report: Support max/min timestamp in report output

[Cosh-y]

Hi @namhyung

According to the requirements in the issue #1898 , I have currently made a simple addition of four optional output fields: total-min-ts, total-max-ts, self-min-ts, and self-max-ts. Due to the longer field names, I have adjusted the output format accordingly.

The current problem is that the timestamp's starting time seems too early, resulting in excessively large timestamps. Additionally, the code hasn't passed through the pipeline yet, so I will further investigate the problem.

I hope you could review my work and provide valuable feedback.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for working on this. Patch looks fine. I've left some comments below.

Adding new fields in the middle created some problems. Let's add them after the STDV fields.

[namhyung]

Nop, timestamp should not be printed using print_time_unit(). Please add something similar to print_timestamp() in cmds/replay.c file.

I think I have fixed these two problems.

Hello, it fails unittest, I think it's because of the missing structure field in unittest.

If I fix it like below, there is no unittest fail, but I don't know if this is the best way to fix the fail. :)

It can be reproduced with make unittest ASAN=1 DEBUG=1 TESTARG="-v"

Thanks for @MichelleJin12 's suggestion. The failure of unittest is because of that I use task->rstack->time in report_update_node() when the testcase does not init tast.rstack. I'm not clear about the test logic. I'm not sure if your patch valuable for testing or not.

Moreover, I found that the timestamp I print is always the same. I doubt if i set the timestamp correctly by timestamp = task->rstack->time - total_time; in report_update_node(). The output is always like this in my tests.

I think you'll have to run uftrace record again for the output to be different.
