Masahiro Yamada 9332ef9dbd scripts/spelling.txt: add "an user" pattern and fix typo instances
Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

  an user||a user
  an userspace||a userspace

I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux.
I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the
list.  I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as
"userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

Kim SeonYoung 8649b6434e perf report/top: Add a tip about source line numbers with overhead
There is a existing tip as below.

    If you have debuginfo enabled, try: perf report -s sym,srcline

However this tip only describe a condition to use --sort sym,scrline
options.  So there is lack of explanation in the tip. I think that it
would be better to add a tip that exactly explains the feature of --sort
srcline.

Namhyung Kim 4251446d77 perf report: Add --hierarchy option
The --hierarchy option is to show output in hierarchy mode.  It extends
folding/unfolding in the TUI and GTK browsers to support sort items as
well as callchains.  Users can toggle the items to see the performance
result at wanted level.

  $ perf report --hierarchy --tui

Namhyung Kim 14cbfbeb76 perf report: Show random usage tip on the help line
Currently perf report only shows a help message "For a higher level
overview, try: perf report --sort comm,dso" unconditionally (even if
the sort keys were used).  Add more help tips and show randomly.

Load tips from ${prefix}/share/doc/perf-tip/tips.txt file.
