[PATCH] perf, record: Ammend option summaries

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Wed Jun 10 2015 - 10:49:06 EST



Because there's too many options and I cannot read, I frequently get
confused between -c and -P, and try to do things like:

perf record -P 50000 -- foo

Which does not work; try and make the option description slightly longer
and hopefully less confusing.
