Subject: perf script: Fix hex dump character output
From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 62942e9fda9fd1def10ffcbd5e1c025b3c9eec17 upstream.
Using grep -C with perf script -D can give erroneous results as grep loses
lines due to non-printable characters, for example, below the 0020, 0060
and 0070 lines are missing:
$ perf script -D | grep -C10 AUX | head

perf's isprint() is a custom implementation from the kernel, but the
kernel's _ctype appears to include characters from Latin-1 Supplement which
is not compatible with, for example, UTF-8. Fix by checking also isascii().

$ tools/perf/perf script -D | grep -C10 AUX | head
