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 <jolsa@redhat.com> [ Added kernel callchains filtering ] Cc: "Frank Ch.
