Currently it collects stack traces to max size then skip entries.
Because we don't have control how to skip perf callchains. But BPF can
do it with bpf_get_stackid() with a flag.
Say we have max-stack=4 and stack-skip=2, we get these stack traces.
Before: After:
.---> +---+ <--. .---> +---+ <--.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
