Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 11d232ec28 perf inject: Add missing bits
New commands need to have Documentation and be added to command-list.txt
so that they can appear when 'perf' is called withouth any subcommand:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# 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
   archive         Create archive with object files with build-ids found in perf.data file
   bench           General framework for benchmark suites
   buildid-cache   Manage build-id cache.
   buildid-list    List the buildids in a perf.data file
   diff            Read two perf.data files and display the differential profile
   inject          Filter to augment the events stream with additional information
   kmem            Tool to trace/measure kernel memory(slab) properties
   kvm             Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os
   list            List all symbolic event types
   lock            Analyze lock events
   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
   test            Runs sanity tests.
   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.

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

The new 'perf inject' command hadn't so it wasn't appearing on that list.

Also fix the long option, that should have no spaces in it, rename the faulty one
to be '--build-ids', instead of '--inject build-ids'.

perf-inject(1)
==============
NAME
----
perf-inject - Filter to augment the events stream with additional information
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf inject <options>'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout. At any
point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in
this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event
stream.
Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that
needs userspace processing to augment the events stream with additional
information could make use of this facility.
OPTIONS
-------
-b::
--build-ids=::
Inject build-ids into the output stream
-v::
--verbose::
Be more verbose.
