So here it goes a v4, just a minor change to avoid adding another global
variable and make this operation parm like the other parms inside that
struct perf_mem, attached goes the interdiff from your patch to this one
here, ok?

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-"perf mem -t <TYPE> record" runs a command and gathers memory operation data
+"perf mem record" runs a command and gathers memory operation data
 from it, into perf.data. Perf record options are accepted and are passed through.
 
-"perf mem -t <TYPE> report" displays the result. It invokes perf report with the
-right set of options to display a memory access profile.
+"perf mem report" displays the result. It invokes perf report with the
+right set of options to display a memory access profile. By default, loads
+and stores are sampled. Use the -t option to limit to loads or stores.
 
 Note that on Intel systems the memory latency reported is the use-latency,
 not the pure load (or store latency). Use latency includes any pipeline
