+--show-ref-call-graph::
+ When multiple events are sampled, it may not be needed to collect
+ callgraphs for all of them. The sample sites are usually nearby,
+ and it's enough to collect the callgraphs on a reference event.
+ So user can use "call-graph=no" event modifier to disable callgraph
+ for other events to reduce the overhead.
+ However, perf report cannot show callgraphs for the event which
+ disable the callgraph.
+ This option extends the perf report to show reference callgraphs,
+ which collected by reference event, in no callgraph event.
