Subject: perf trace: Make --(min,max}-stack imply "--call-graph dwarf"
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=056149932602ef905f1e26fc4fe242ef0533a597;p=linux-beck.git

perf trace: Make --(min,max}-stack imply "--call-graph dwarf"

If one uses:

  # perf trace --min-stack 16

Then it implicitly means that callgraphs should be enabled, and the best
option in terms of widespread availability is "dwarf".

Further work needed to choose a better alternative, LBR, in capable
systems.
