perf sched timehist: Add call graph options
If callchains were recorded they are appended to the line with a default stack depth of 5: 1.874569 [0011] gcc[31949] 0.014 0.000 1.148 wait_for_completion_killable <- do_fork <- sys_vfork <- stub_vfork <- __vfork 1.874591 [0010] gcc[31951] 0.000 0.000 0.024 __cond_resched <- _cond_resched <- wait_for_completion <- stop_one_cpu <- sched_exec 1.874603 [0010] migration/10[59] 3.350 0.004 0.011 smpboot_thread_fn <- kthread <- ret_from_fork 1.874604 [0011] <idle> 1.148 0.000 0.035 cpu_startup_entry <- start_secondary 1.874723 [0005] <idle> 0.016 0.000 1.383 cpu_startup_entry <- start_secondary 1.874746 [0005] gcc[31949] 0.153 0.078 0.022 do_wait sys_wait4 <- system_call_fastpath <- __GI___waitpid --no-call-graph can be used to not show the callchains. --max-stack is used to control the number of frames shown (default of 5). -x/--excl options can be used to collapse redundant callchains to get more relevant data on screen.
