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.

2018-02-21perf kallsyms: Fix the usage on the man pageSangwon Hong
First, all man pages highlight only perf and subcommands except 'perf kallsyms', which includes the full usage. Fix it for commands to monopolize underlines. Second, options can be ommited when executing 'perf kallsyms', so add square brackets between <option>.

running kernel Its similar to doing grep on a /proc/kallsyms, but it also shows extra information like the path to the kernel module and the unrelocated addresses in it, to help in diagnosing problems. It is also helps demonstrate the use of the symbols routines so that tool writers can use them more effectively.
