Don't use capitalization when not appropriate. This is better:

Example of usage:


> topN_perf.py -n 20 -- /path/to/qemu program -program -flags

The command line above is hardly example of usage. Furthermore, it is
unclear of what you meant with "program -program". Other things are unclear
too (what about qemu options?) The command line, as is now, is somewhere
between a syntax description and an example of usage, but is neither a
syntax description nor example of usage.

>From the script, it looks that there is "-h" too. Not mentioned in commit
message ar all, and it shouldbe.

I would suggest that you rework this section inthis way, for the sake of
clarity:

Syntax: (

topN_perf.py [-h] [-n <number of displayed top functions >  -- <qemu
executable> [<qemu executable options>] <target executable> [<target
execurable options>]

-h - .........explain here
-n - .........explain here

Example of usage:

topN_perf.py -n 20 -- qemu-arm coulomb_double-arm

Example of output:


..... and here you continue with:

The similat comments from commit message section apply here too.

OK. This is good.

I would avoid mixing stderr message and your message practically in one
sentence. Better:

error: <text from stderr>
You must run the script with sudo pivilages, or, alternatively, set kernel
Xxx option to....

I am really confused by using both perf.data and tmp.perf.data names. Why?
They are in entirely different format. "tmp.perf.data should be
perf.top-function.list, let's say, if I am not mistaken about its meaning
and usage.
