The new --uid command line option will show only the tasks for a given user, using the proc interface to figure out the existing tasks. Kernel work is needed to close races at startup, but this should already be useful in many use cases.

- graph: use a graph tree, displaying absolute overhead rates.
|
|
- fractal: like graph, but displays relative rates. Each branch of
|

order can be either:
|
|
- callee: callee based call graph.
|
|
- caller: inverted caller based call graph.
|
|
|
|
Default: fractal,0.5,callee.
