+--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

 --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.
