perf tools: Fallback to srcdir/Documentation/tips.txt
Some people don't install perf, but just use compiled version in the source. Fallback to lookup the source directory for those poor guys. :) Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1452334589-8782-4-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org [ Make perf_tip() return NULL for ENOENT, making the fallback to really take place ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
