+--max-stack::
+ Set the stack depth limit when parsing the callchain, anything
+ beyond the specified depth will be ignored. Note that at this point
+ this is just about the presentation part, i.e. the kernel is still
+ not limiting, the overhead of callchains needs to be set via the

--proc-map-timeout::
When processing pre-existing threads /proc/XXX/mmap, it may take a long time,
because the file may be huge. A time out is needed in such cases.
