Kan Liang 680d125cd5 perf script: Add option to enable the LBR stitching approach
With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack can
break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call stacks
in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp.  Also, it
may impact the processing time especially when the number of samples
with stitched LBRs are huge.

Add an option to enable the approach.

Committer testing:

Using the same perf.data as with the latest cset committer testing
section:

  $ perf script --stitch-lbr

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
