---force-per-cpu::
-Force the use of per-cpu mmaps.  By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p,
--t or -u options) per-thread mmaps are created.  This option overrides that and
-forces per-cpu mmaps.  A side-effect of that is that inheritance is
-automatically enabled.  Add the -i option also to disable inheritance.
+--per-thread::
+Use per-thread mmaps.  By default per-cpu mmaps are created.  This option
+overrides that and uses per-thread mmaps.  A side-effect of that is that
+inheritance is automatically disabled.  --per-thread is ignored with a warning
