From d077526485d5c9b12fe85d0b2b3b7041e6bc5f91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 15:20:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Add attribute to filter out callchains Introducing following bits to the the perf_event_attr struct: - exclude_callchain_kernel to filter out kernel callchain from the sample dump - exclude_callchain_user to filter out user callchain from the sample dump We need to be able to disable standard user callchain dump when we use the dwarf cfi callchain mode, because frame pointer based user callchains are useless in this mode. Implementing also exclude_callchain_kernel to have complete set of options. Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa [ Added kernel callchains filtering ] Cc: "Frank Ch.
