From e5a5f1f015cf435eb3d2f5712ba51ffdbb92cbef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2010 19:55:00 +0200 Subject: perf: Remove leftover useless options to record trace events from scripts -f, -c 1, -R are now useless for trace events recording, moreover -M is useless and event hurts. Remove them from the documentation examples and from record scripts.
