The field perf_callchain, if available, is added to the sampling events
during the CTF conversion. It is an array of u64 values.  The
perf_callchain_size field contains the size of the array.

It will allow the analysis of sampling data in trace visualization tools
like Trace Compass. Possible analyses with those data: dynamic
flamegraphs, correlation with other tracing data like a userspace trace.

Here follows a babeltrace CTF output of a trace with callchain:
