perf trace: Add usage of --no-syscalls in man page
perf trace supports --no-syscalls option but it's not listed in the man page. (Though, I see an example using --no-syscalls in EXAMPLES section.) Committer note: The --no-syscalls option tells 'perf trace' not to automagically ask for raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} to then format it in a strace like way. This become more used as 'perf trace' got support for arbitrary events, such as tracepoints, so more and more we use: # perf trace --no-syscalls -e nmi:* 0.000 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 36649 handled: 1) 0.019 nmi:nmi_handler:nmi_cpu_backtrace_handler() delta_ns: 2907 handled: 0) 0.676 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 9401 handled: 1) 0.680 nmi:nmi_handler:nmi_cpu_backtrace_handler() delta_ns: 288 handled: 0) 0.701 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 4977 handled: 1) 0.703 nmi:nmi_handler:nmi_cpu_backtrace_handler() delta_ns: 67 handled: 0) 0.736 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 8549 handled: 1) ^C# Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexis Berlemont <alexis.berlemont@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1492063332-5745-1-git-send-email-ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
