perf report: Show random usage tip on the help line
Currently perf report only shows a help message "For a higher level overview, try: perf report --sort comm,dso" unconditionally (even if the sort keys were used). Add more help tips and show randomly. Load tips from ${prefix}/share/doc/perf-tip/tips.txt file. $ perf report | tail 0.10% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] irq_exit 0.09% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] flush_smp_call_function_queue 0.08% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] native_write_msr_safe 0.03% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] group_sched_in 0.01% perf [kernel.vmlinux] [k] native_write_msr_safe # # (Tip: Search options using a keyword: perf report -h <keyword>) # Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1452166913-27046-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org [ Renamed it to perf_tip() and the parameter dirname to dirpath to fix the build on older distros ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
