2023-02-02perf tools docs: Use canonical ftrace pathRoss Zwisler
The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing A few spots in the perf docs still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

2021-09-27perf doc: Fix typos all over the placeLike Xu
Considering that perf and its subcommands have so many parameters, the documentation is always the first stop for perf beginners. Fixing some spelling errors will relax the eyes of some readers a little bit. s/specicfication/specification/ s/caheline/cacheline/ s/tranasaction/transaction/ s/complan/complain/ s/sched_wakep/sched_wakeup/ s/possble/possible/ s/methology/methodology/ Signed-off-by: Like Xu <likexu@tencent.com> Acked-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210924081942.38368-1-likexu@tencent.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2018-03-07perf tools: Correct title markers for asciidoctorTakashi Iwai
I've tested to process the perf man pages with asciidoctor that is picker than asciidoc, and it revealed minor syntax errors in some documents. Namely, the title markers aren't aligned with the previous line, hence asciidoctor didn't recognize as titles. This patch corrects these markers to be processed properly.

2011-04-24sched: Get rid of lock_depthJonathan Corbet
Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL removal work. Let's get rid of it now. Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with older kernels.
