When invoking ./perf trace --call-graph fp|lbr with
additional parameters a warning is printed that these
additional comma separated parameters are silently ignored.
[root@f27 perf]# ./perf trace -vv --no-syscalls --call-graph lbr,1024
callchain: No more arguments needed for --call-graph lbr
[root@f27 perf]#
This does not happen for --call-graph dwarf,4096,4. The additional
parameter 4 is silently ignored and no warning printed.
Before:
[root@f27 perf]# ./perf trace --no-syscalls --call-graph dwarf,4096,4
Please specify something to trace.
[root@f27 perf]#
After:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf trace --no-syscalls --call-graph dwarf,4096,4
callchain: No more arguments needed for --call-graph dwarf[,xxx]
Please specify something to trace.
[root@s35lp76 perf]#
