      perf_counter tools: Fix unknown command help text · 27b9613b
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Arjan reported this error when entering an unknown command to perf:

  $ perf start
  fatal: Uh oh. Your system reports no Git commands at all.

The Git code expects there to be perf-* commands - but since Perf
is a 'pure' utility with no dash commands anymore, this old assumption
of Git does not hold anymore. Remove that error check.

      perf_counter tools: Generate per command manpages (and pdf/html, etc.) · c1c2365a
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Import Git's nice .txt => {man/html/pdf} generation machinery.

Fix various errors in the Documentation/perf*.txt description as well.

Also fix a bug in builtin-help: we'd map 'perf help top' to 'perftop'
if only the 'perf' binary is in the default PATH - confusing the manpage
logic. I dont fully understand why Git did it this way - but i suppose
it's a migration artifact from their migration from standalone git-xyz
commands to 'git xyz' commands. The perf tools were always using the
modern form so it's not an issue there.

      perf_counter tools: Fix 'make install' · 7fbd5544
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      'make install' didnt install perf itself - which needs a special
rule to be copied to bindir.

      perf_counter tools: Add locking to perf top

We need to protect the active_symbols list as two threads change it:
the main thread adding entries to the head and the display thread
decaying entries from any place in the list.

Also related: take a snapshot of syme->count[0] before using it to
calculate the weight and to show the same number used in this calc when
displaying the symbol usage.
