From 1d8c8b209e9351a7de1307d7b9b6df4222b8d742 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:52:29 +0200 Subject: perf_counter tools: add help texts Add Documentation/perf-stat.txt and Documentation/perf-top.txt. The template that was used for it: Documentation/git-add.txt from Git. Fix up small bugs to make these help texts show up both in the 'perf' common-command summary output screen, and on the individual help screens.
