perf tools: Add cat as fallback pager

2014-05-21T09:48:33Z

This patch adds a fallback to cat for the pager. This is useful on environments, such as Android, where less does not exist. It is better to default to cat than to abort.

perf tools: Fix pager on minimal-install embedded systems

2012-05-30T18:10:39Z

Some Distributions may lack "less" package being included by default, e.g., Linaro nano rootfs. In those cases use the portable "pager" command instead of "less".

perf_counter tools: Remove dead code

2009-06-27T04:06:39Z

Vince Weaver reported that there's a handful of #ifdef __MINGW32__ sections in the code. Remove them as they are in essence dead code - as unlike upstream Git, the perf tool is unlikely to be ported to Windows.
