Duh, you're right, must've confused with that BTS thing, but as you said
in another message, that generates way too much info, have to read more
about it and the PT as well :-\

Anyway, for syscall backtraces, using 16 or 32 as the default in 'perf
trace', seems interesting, automatically switching to DWARF (or FP if
configured by the user in a system built with -fno-omit-frame-pointer)
if, say, --max-stack 38, say, is specified.

Have to take a look at how to do that for raw_syscalls:sys_enter.
