127
+--time::
128
+	Analyze samples within given time window. It supports time
129
+	percent with multiple time ranges. Time string is 'a%/n,b%/m,...'
130
+	or 'a%-b%,c%-%d,...'.
131
+
132
+	For example:
133
+
134
+	Select the second 10% time slice to diff:
135
+
136
+	  perf diff --time 10%/2
137
+
138
+	Select from 0% to 10% time slice to diff:
139
+
140
+	  perf diff --time 0%-10%
141
+
142
+	Select the first and the second 10% time slices to diff:
143
+
144
+	  perf diff --time 10%/1,10%/2
145

146
+	Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices to diff:
147
+
148
+	  perf diff --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
149
+
150
+	It also supports analyzing samples within a given time window
151
+	<start>,<stop>. Times have the format seconds.nanoseconds. If 'start'
152
+	is not given (i.e. time string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at
153
+	the beginning of the file. If stop time is not given (i.e. time
154
+	string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes to the end of the file.
155
+	Multiple ranges can be separated by spaces, which requires the argument
156
+	to be quoted e.g. --time "1234.567,1234.789 1235,"
157
+	Time string is'a1.b1,c1.d1:a2.b2,c2.d2'. Use ':' to separate timestamps
158
+	for different perf.data files.
159
+
160
+	For example, we get the timestamp information from 'perf script'.
161
+
162
+	  perf script -i perf.data.old
163
+	    mgen 13940 [000]  3946.361400: ...
164
+
165
+	  perf script -i perf.data
166
+	    mgen 13940 [000]  3971.150589 ...
167
+
168
+	  perf diff --time 3946.361400,:3971.150589,
169
+
170
+	It analyzes the perf.data.old from the timestamp 3946.361400 to
171
+	the end of perf.data.old and analyzes the perf.data from the
172
+	timestamp 3971.150589 to the end of perf.data.
173
+
174
+--cpu:: Only diff samples for the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can
175
+	be provided as a comma-separated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of
176
+	CPUs are specified with -: 0-2. Default is to report samples on all
177
+	CPUs.
178
+
179
+--pid=::
180
+	Only diff samples for given process ID (comma separated list).
181
+
182
+--tid=::
183
+	Only diff samples for given thread ID (comma separated list).
184
+
185
+--stream::
186
+	Enable hot streams comparison. Stream can be a callchain which is
187
+	aggregated by the branch records from samples.
