perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
+--switch-on EVENT_NAME::
+ Only consider events after this event is found.
+
+ This may be interesting to measure a workload only after some initialization
+ phase is over, i.e. insert a perf probe at that point and then using this
+ option with that probe.
+
+--switch-off EVENT_NAME::
+ Stop considering events after this event is found.
+
+--show-on-off-events::
+ Show the --switch-on/off events too. This has no effect in 'perf report' now
+ but probably we'll make the default not to show the switch-on/off events
+ on the --group mode and if there is only one event besides the off/on ones,
+ go straight to the histogram browser, just like 'perf report' with no events
+ explicitely specified does.
