Subject: [PATCH 1/4] perf record: Make per-cpu mmaps the default.
This affects the -p, -t and -u options that
previously defaulted to per-thread mmaps.
A side-effect is that inheritance is
automatically enabled by default. A later
patch will disable it by default for the -t
option.
Consequently add an option to select
per-thread mmaps to support the old
behaviour.
Note that per-thread can be used with a
workload-only (i.e. none of -p, -t, -u,
-a or -C is selected) to get a per-thread
mmap with no inheritance.

-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
