perf kvm: Print kvm specific --help output
The 'perf kvm stat record' tool is an alias of 'perf record' with
predefined kvm related options. All options that passed to 'perf kvm
stat record' are processed by the 'perf record' tool. So, 'perf kvm
stat record --help' prints help of usage for the 'perf record'
command. There are a few options useful for 'perf kvm stat record',
the rest either break kvm related output or don't change it.
Let's print safe for 'perf kvm stat record' options in addition to
general 'perf record' --help output.
With this patch, new output looks like below:
$ perf kvm stat record -h
usage: perf kvm stat record [<options>]
-p, --pid <pid> record events on existing process id
-t, --tid <tid> record events on existing thread id
-r, --realtime <n> collect data with this RT SCHED_FIFO priority
--no-buffering collect data without buffering
-a, --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs
-C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor
-c, --count <n> event period to sample
-o, --output <file> output file name
-i, --no-inherit child tasks do not inherit counters
-m, --mmap-pages <pages>
number of mmap data pages
-v, --verbose be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc)
-q, --quiet don't print any message
-s, --stat per thread counts
-D, --delay <n> ms to wait before starting measurement after program start
-u, --uid <user> user to profile
--per-thread use per-thread mmaps
$ perf kvm stat record -n sleep 1
Error: switch `n' is not usable
usage: perf kvm stat record [<options>]
