Change the man page generation to asciidoc, because it's easier to use
and has been more commonly used in related projects. Remove the current
rst pages.
Add 3 man pages to have a base for more additions:
libperf.3 - overall description
libperf-counting.7 - counting basics explained on simple example
libperf-sampling.7 - sampling basics explained on simple example
The plan is to add more man pages to cover the basic API.
The build generates html and man pages:
$ cd tools/lib/perf/Documentation
$ make
ASCIIDOC libperf.xml
XMLTO libperf.3
ASCIIDOC libperf-counting.xml
XMLTO libperf-counting.7
ASCIIDOC libperf-sampling.xml
XMLTO libperf-sampling.7
ASCIIDOC libperf.html
ASCIIDOC libperf-counting.html
ASCIIDOC libperf-sampling.html
Add the following install targets:
install-man - man pages
install-html - html version of man pages
install-examples - examples mentioned in the man pages

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
