Re: [PATCH] perf report: auto-detect branch stack sampling mode

Another usability bug of the new branch sampling feature is that
typing the obvious:

$ perf record -b ./myprog

does not do the obvious thing and default to 'any' but throws a
*very* unhelpful generic perf error:

usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

...

Really, we should do better than this. Only people who *want* to
specify finer LBR filters should be forced to specify them.

Thanks,

Ingo
