Please align this a bit more (perf report usage) and add the ':'

--itrace[=<opts>]
Instruction Tracing options
i synthesize instructions events
b synthesize branches events
c synthesize branches events (calls only)
r synthesize branches events (returns only)
x synthesize transactions events
w synthesize ptwrite events
p synthesize power events
e synthesize error events
d create a debug log
g[len] synthesize a call chain (use with i or x)
l[len] synthesize last branch entries (use with i or x)
sNUMBER skip initial number of events
PERIOD[ns|us|ms|i|t] specify period to sample stream
concatenate multiple options. Default is ibxwpe


like for example for '-g' option:

-g, --call-graph <print_type,threshold[,print_limit],order,sort_key[,branch],value>
Display call graph (stack chain/backtrace):

print_type: call graph printing style (graph|flat|fractal|folded|none)
threshold: minimum call graph inclusion threshold (<percent>)
print_limit: maximum number of call graph entry (<number>)
order: call graph order (caller|callee)
sort_key: call graph sort key (function|address)
branch: include last branch info to call graph (branch)
value: call graph value (percent|period|count)

Default: graph,0.5,caller,function,percent
