    perf evsel: Skip ignored symbols while printing callchain · d2ff1b14
    David Ahern authored
    Allows a command to have a symbol_filter controlled by the user to skip
    certain functions in a backtrace. One example is to allow the user to
    reduce repeating patterns like:
    
        do_select  core_sys_select  sys_select
    
    to just sys_select when dumping callchains, consuming less real estate
    on the screen while still conveying the essential message - the process
    is in a select call.
    
    This option is leveraged by the upcoming timehist command.

    [ Checked if al.sym is NULL before touching al.sym->ignored, as noted by Adrian Hunter ]
