    perf: Add attribute to filter out callchains · d0775264
    Frederic Weisbecker authored
    
    
    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.
