         child tasks do not inherit counters
 -p::
 --pid=<pid>::
-        stat events on existing pid
+        stat events on existing process id (comma separated list)
+
+-t::
+--tid=<tid>::
+        stat events on existing thread id (comma separated list)
+
 
 -a::
-        system-wide collection
+--all-cpus::
+        system-wide collection from all CPUs
 
 -c::
-        scale counter values
+--scale::
+	scale/normalize counter values
+
+-r::
+--repeat=<n>::
+	repeat command and print average + stddev (max: 100). 0 means forever.
 
 -B::
+--big-num::
         print large numbers with thousands' separators according to locale
 
 -C::
 --cpu=::
-Count only on the list of cpus provided. Multiple CPUs can be provided as a
-comma-sperated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2.
+Count only on the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can be provided as a
+comma-separated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2.
 In per-thread mode, this option is ignored. The -a option is still necessary
 to activate system-wide monitoring. Default is to count on all CPUs.
 
+-A::
+--no-aggr::
+Do not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode (-a).
+This option is only valid in system-wide mode.
+
+-n::
+--null::
+        null run - don't start any counters
+
+-v::
+--verbose::
+        be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc)
+
+-x SEP::
+--field-separator SEP::
+print counts using a CSV-style output to make it easy to import directly into
+spreadsheets. Columns are separated by the string specified in SEP.
+
+-G name::
+--cgroup name::
+monitor only in the container (cgroup) called "name". This option is available only
+in per-cpu mode. The cgroup filesystem must be mounted. All threads belonging to
+container "name" are monitored when they run on the monitored CPUs. Multiple cgroups
+can be provided. Each cgroup is applied to the corresponding event, i.e., first cgroup
+to first event, second cgroup to second event and so on. It is possible to provide
+an empty cgroup (monitor all the time) using, e.g., -G foo,,bar. Cgroups must have
+corresponding events, i.e., they always refer to events defined earlier on the command
+line.
+
+-o file::
+--output file::
+Print the output into the designated file.
+
+--append::
+Append to the output file designated with the -o option. Ignored if -o is not specified.
+
+--log-fd::
+
+Log output to fd, instead of stderr.  Complementary to --output, and mutually exclusive
+with it.  --append may be used here.  Examples:
+     3>results  perf stat --log-fd 3          -- $cmd
+     3>>results perf stat --log-fd 3 --append -- $cmd
+
+--pre::
+--post::
+	Pre and post measurement hooks, e.g.:
+
+perf stat --repeat 10 --null --sync --pre 'make -s O=defconfig-build/clean' -- make -s -j64 O=defconfig-build/ bzImage
+
+-I msecs::
+--interval-print msecs::
+	Print count deltas every N milliseconds (minimum: 100ms)
+	example: perf stat -I 1000 -e cycles -a sleep 5
+
+--per-socket::
+Aggregate counts per processor socket for system-wide mode measurements.  This
+is a useful mode to detect imbalance between sockets.  To enable this mode,
+use --per-socket in addition to -a. (system-wide).  The output includes the
+socket number and the number of online processors on that socket. This is
+useful to gauge the amount of aggregation.
+
+--per-core::
+Aggregate counts per physical processor for system-wide mode measurements.  This
+is a useful mode to detect imbalance between physical cores.  To enable this mode,
+use --per-core in addition to -a. (system-wide).  The output includes the
+core number and the number of online logical processors on that physical processor.
+
+-D msecs::
+--delay msecs::
+After starting the program, wait msecs before measuring. This is useful to
+filter out the startup phase of the program, which is often very different.
+
+-T::
+--transaction::
+
+Print statistics of transactional execution if supported.
