[PATCH 4/7] perf trace: Add record option

[David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com>]

record option is a convience alias to include the -e raw_syscalls:*
argument to perf-record. All other options are passed to perf-record's
handler. Resulting data file can be analyzed by perf-trace -i.

 syscalls, but other system events like pagefaults, task lifetime events,
 scheduling events, etc.
 
-Initially this is a live mode only tool, but eventually will work with
-perf.data files like the other tools, allowing a detached 'record' from
-analysis phases.
+This is a live mode tool in addition to working with perf.data files like
+the other perf tools. Files can be generated using the 'perf record' command
+but the session needs to include the raw_syscalls events (-e 'raw_syscalls:*').
+Alernatively, the 'perf trace record' can be used as a shortcut to
+automatically include the raw_syscalls events when writing events to a file.
+
+The following options apply to perf trace; options to perf trace record are
+found in the perf record man page.
