Subject[PATCH V3 06/11] perf record: Add an option to force per-cpu mmaps
Date
By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p, -t
or -u options) per-thread mmaps are created. Add
an option to override that and force per-cpu mmaps.

+Force the use of per-cpu mmaps. By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p,
+-t or -u options) per-thread mmaps are created. This option overrides that and
+forces per-cpu mmaps. A side-effect of that is that inheritance is
+automatically enabled. Add the -i option also to disable inheritance.
