--force::
Don't complain, do it.
+--vm-time-correlation[=OPTIONS]::
+ Some architectures may capture AUX area data which contains timestamps
+ affected by virtualization. This option will update those timestamps
+ in place, to correlate with host timestamps. The in-place update means
+ that an output file is not specified, and instead the input file is
+ modified. The options are architecture specific, except that they may
+ start with "dry-run" which will cause the file to be processed but
+ without updating it. Currently this option is supported only by
+ Intel PT, refer linkperf:perf-intel-pt[1]
