Subject: [PATCH 57/60] perf script: Add option to enable the LBR stitching approach
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>
With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack can
break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call stacks
in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp. Also, it
may impact the processing time especially when the number of samples
with stitched LBRs are huge.
Add an option to enable the approach.
Committer testing:
Using the same perf.data as with the latest cset committer testing
section:
$ perf script --stitch-lbr
