From d2ff1b1499c8e0ad2fc79376a4215ba37771823f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 13:32:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf evsel: Skip ignored symbols while printing callchain Allows a command to have a symbol_filter controlled by the user to skip certain functions in a backtrace. One example is to allow the user to reduce repeating patterns like: do_select core_sys_select sys_select to just sys_select when dumping callchains, consuming less real estate on the screen while still conveying the essential message - the process is in a select call. This option is leveraged by the upcoming timehist command.
