[PATCH 6/7] perf util: Hint missing file when tool tips fail to load
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Apr 13 2017 - 15:36:04 EST
From: David Carrillo-Cisneros <davidcc@xxxxxxxxxx>
Besides memory allocation failure, tips.txt may fail to load because the
file is not found (a more likely cause).
Communicate that to the user in tips failure warning.
