perf tools: Fallback to srcdir/Documentation/tips.txt (2016-01-12 12:42:08 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible new features:

- Add --buildid-all option to 'perf record' to avoid processing
samples, just collecting build-ids for _all_ the DSOs that appears
in PERF_RECORD_MMAP records (Namhyung Kim)

- Add some more usage tips to appear in the hists browser
(top & report) (Namhyung Kim, Andi Kleen)

- Fix mmap2 event allocation in synthesize code, where we were
allocating space just for PERF_RECORD_MMAP, the older variant,
which could lead to corner case problems (Wang Nan)

Developer stuff:

- Make list.h self-sufficient, removing one more reference to
kernel headers that lead to recent breakage when some rculist
change was made in the kernel sources. (Josh Poimboeuf)

Add missing NORETURN define for parse-options.h in
tools/lib/subcmd (Josh Poimboeuf)

- Fallback to srcdir/Documentation/ when not finding tips.txt
elsewhere (Namhyung Kim)
