I suspect this could have come with a bit more explanation of what
"off-CPU profiling" means.

It seems to be "account time when process was scheduled away to
caller", but I had to go look at the commits to figure that out.

Partly unrelated side note: I've occasionally looked for "useful perf
recipes". Not from kernel developers, but from people who solved real
performance problems using perf, giving useful examples.
