This option extends the perf report to show reference callgraphs,
which collected by reference event, in no callgraph event.
+--stitch-lbr::
+ Show callgraph with stitched LBRs, which may have more complete
+ callgraph. The perf.data file must have been obtained using
+ perf record --call-graph lbr.
+ Disabled by default. In common cases with call stack overflows,
+ it can recreate better call stacks than the default lbr call stack
+ output. But this approach is not full proof. There can be cases
+ where it creates incorrect call stacks from incorrect matches.
+ The known limitations include exception handing such as
+ setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns not match.
+
--socket-filter::
Only report the samples on the processor socket that match with this filter
