Shouldn't it be sched->max_stack somehow?

I think this callchain resolving logic should be moved to the
beginning of perf_hist__process_sample() like other commands do.  It's
not for idle threads only.

And it also needs to pass sched->max_stack.

Hmm.. maybe we can emit a warning if -w and -s options are given at
the same time.

Need to call intlist__delete(sched->pid) here?

Why not renaming long option name to --exclude or --exclude-symbols?
