--raw-samples::
Collect raw sample records from all opened counters (default for tracepoint counters).
+-C::
+--cpu::
+Collect samples only on the list of cpus provided. Multiple CPUs can be provided as a
+comma-sperated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2.
+In per-thread mode with inheritance mode on (default), samples are captured only when
+the thread executes on the designated CPUs. Default is to monitor all CPUs.
+
+-N::
+--no-buildid-cache::
+Do not update the builid cache. This saves some overhead in situations
+where the information in the perf.data file (which includes buildids)
+is sufficient.
