Documentation for perf not included with the perf package.

Solution Verified - Updated -

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
