Documentation for perf not included with the perf package.
Issue
-
The perf documentation located in linux-<kernel version>/tools/perf/Documentation/examples.txt should be included in /usr/share/doc/ of the perf package instead. The perf package includes '/usr/share/doc' but it is empty:
$ rpm -ql perf /usr/sbin/perf /usr/share/doc/perf /usr/share/man/man1/perf-annotate.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/perf-help.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/perf-list.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/perf-record.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/perf-report.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/perf-stat.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/perf-top.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/perf.1.gz
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
