The general rule for compounds like this in English is that they
should be hyphenated when used attributively, and not hyphenated
otherwise. Thus:
user-space operations
and
operations performed in user space.
Man pages generally follows that rule, but you were right that the
perf_event_open.2 page was inconsistent. I've fixed it now.
Thanks,
Michael
