From 14cbfbeb76540cc0c53fbb0ba34b3a4900ebe40f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2016 20:41:53 +0900 Subject: 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 ) # Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Wang Nan 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 --- tools/perf/Makefile.perf | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'tools/perf/Makefile.perf') diff --git a/tools/perf/Makefile.perf b/tools/perf/Makefile.perf index 1025ea79b90b..0a22407e1d7d 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Makefile.perf +++ b/tools/perf/Makefile.perf @@ -567,6 +567,9 @@ endif $(call QUIET_INSTALL, perf_completion-script) \ $(INSTALL) -d -m 755 '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(sysconfdir_SQ)/bash_completion.d'; \ $(INSTALL) perf-completion.sh '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(sysconfdir_SQ)/bash_completion.d/perf' + $(call QUIET_INSTALL, perf-tip) \ + $(INSTALL) -d -m 755 '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(tip_instdir_SQ)'; \ + $(INSTALL) Documentation/tips.txt -t '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(tip_instdir_SQ)' install-tests: all install-gtk $(call QUIET_INSTALL, tests) \ -- cgit v1.2.1
