  tools: Pass arg to fdarray__filter's call back function (2016-05-25 17:27:25 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible/kernel ABI:

- Per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to tune the
  max-stack for all events for which callchains were requested:

  $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
  kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127

  Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e. this
  becomes possible:

  $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a

  allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.

  This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving another
  u16 for future use.

  There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
  max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further
  discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
  that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack introduced
  in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left is used for
  limiting the userspace callchain. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
