Subject: [PATCH 02/27] perf tools: Report itrace options in help
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 12:02:17 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180924150242.14235-3-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180924150242.14235-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

I often forget all the options that --itrace accepts. Instead of burying
them in the man page only report them in the normal command line help
too to make them easier accessible.

v2: Align
