| |
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.
