      perf report: Show random usage tip on the help line · 14cbfbeb
      Namhyung Kim authored
      
      Currently perf report only shows a help message "For a higher level
      overview, try: perf report --sort comm,dso" unconditionally (even if
      the sort keys were used).  Add more help tips and show randomly.
      
      Load tips from ${prefix}/share/doc/perf-tip/tips.txt file.
      
        $ perf report | tail
            0.10%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] irq_exit
            0.09%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] flush_smp_call_function_queue
            0.08%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] native_write_msr_safe
            0.03%  swapper  [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] group_sched_in
            0.01%  perf     [kernel.vmlinux]   [k] native_write_msr_safe

      [ Renamed it to perf_tip() and the parameter dirname to dirpath to fix the build on older distros ]
