SubjectRe: [PATCH v4 02/10] perf record: implement -f,--mmap-flush=<threshold> option

Can you add something here explain more clearly what this means, and
also on the tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt file? Something
like a paragraph explaining when is that there is a mmap flush normally,
or rephrase what you wrote if you think you said that.
