Add options description to 'perf -h' to make it consistent with other builtins
(e.g., 'perf stat -h').
Example:
Before this patch:
# perf -h
usage: perf [--version] [--help] [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]
The most commonly used perf commands are:
annotate Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display
annotated code
archive Create archive with object files with build-ids found in
perf.data file
bench General framework for benchmark suites
buildid-cache Manage build-id cache.
buildid-list List the buildids in a perf.data file
<SNIP>
test Runs sanity tests.
timechart Tool to visualize total system behavior during a workload
top System profiling tool.
trace strace inspired tool
probe Define new dynamic tracepoints
See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.
After this patch:
# perf -h
usage: perf [--version] [--help] [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]
--help help
--version version
--exec-path exec-path
--html-path html-path
--paginate paginate
--no-pager no-pager
--perf-dir perf-dir
--work-tree work-tree
--debugfs-dir debugfs-dir
--buildid-dir buildid-dir
--list-cmds list-cmds
--list-opts list-opts
--debug debug
The most commonly used perf commands are:
annotate Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display
annotated code
archive Create archive with object files with build-ids found in
perf.data file
bench General framework for benchmark suites
buildid-cache Manage build-id cache.
buildid-list List the buildids in a perf.data file
<SNIP>
test Runs sanity tests.
timechart Tool to visualize total system behavior during a workload
top System profiling tool.
trace strace inspired tool
probe Define new dynamic tracepoints
See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.
As shown above, the options description really appears now.
