+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+Performance counters for Linux are are a new kernel\-based subsystem
+that provide a framework for all things performance analysis.  It
+covers hardware level (CPU/PMU, Performance Monitoring Unit) features
+and software features (software counters, tracepoints) as well.
+.LP
+Each version of the perf tools may depend on new kernel features, so
+you must install a different version for each kernel version.  The
+\fBperf\fR command will automatically run the correct version for the
+running kernel version.
