I don't know of any DWARF functionality or extensions that are currently
used to communicate "uninteresting" functions not to step into.

If there's a specific example where you've seen this behavior work as you'd
like in another language/frontend/etc - if you provide that example I/we
might be able to explain why it works that way & how you could reproduce
that behavior.
