* perf lock: Fix and add misc documentally thingsHitoshi Mitake2010-02-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt, so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'. Fixing command-list.txt requires document (tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt). But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now. And I wrote description of perf lock at help section of CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, this will navigate users of lock trace events.

* perf buildid-cache: Add new command to manage build-id cacheArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-01-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For now it just has operations to examine a given file, find its build-id and add or remove it to/from the cache. Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a perf.data file, so that we can add them to the cache and have the tools find it when resolving symbols. It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does.
