I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt,
so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'.
Fixing command-list.txt requires document
(tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt).
But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a
stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now.
And I wrote description of perf lock at help section of
CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, this will navigate users of lock trace events.

For now it just has operations to examine a given file, find its
build-id and add or remove it to/from the cache.
Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a
perf.data file, so that we can add them to the cache and have
the tools find it when resolving symbols.
It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does.

This also makes it appear on the 'perf --help' output, i.e.
util/generate-cmdlist.sh now takes it into account.

It uses 'perf buildid-list --with-hits' to create a tarball with
what is needed to have in the destination machine ~/.debug
hierarchy to properly decode the perf.data file specified.
Here is an example where a perf.data file collected on a x86-64
machine running Fedora 12 is used and then the data is packaged,
transferred and decoded on a PARISC64 machine running Debian
Testing, 32-bit userspace:

Probably the next step is to have 'perf report' notice that there is a
perf.data.tar.bz2 file in the same directory and look if it was already
added to ~/.debug/.

With this we can list the buildids in a perf.data file so that
we can pipe them to other, distro specific tools that from the
buildids can figure out separate packages (foo-debuginfo) where
we can find the matching symtabs so that perf report can do its
job.
E.g:
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf buildid-list | head -5

This patch modifies command-list.txt for the entry of
perf-bench. So perf will show 'bench' in command list.
Example:
% perf
usage: perf [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]
The most commonly used perf commands are:
annotate Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display annotated code
bench General framework for benchmark suites
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
list List all symbolic event types
probe Define new dynamic tracepoints
record Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
report Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the profile
sched Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies)
stat Run a command and gather performance counter statistics
timechart Tool to visualize total system behavior during a workload
top System profiling tool.
trace Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display trace output
See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.

This turn-key tool allows scheduler measurements to be
conducted and the results be displayed numerically.
First baby step towards that goal: clone the new command off of
perf trace.
Fix a few other details along the way:
- add (minimal) perf trace documentation
- reorder a few places
- list perf trace in the mainporcelain list as well
as it's a very useful utility.
