Changes in v4:
- If some config value is default value, notice it is '(default)'as
below.
# perf config colors.normal
colors.normal=lightgray, default (default)
- A config file path is only decided in perf_config().
And a perf-config command depend on perf_config() deciding a config
file path.
So if the config file path is NULL because of some reason like no such
file,
a perf-config command can't write to the file. So, I added new options
which are '--global' and '--system' to be enable to select
config file path to be used without perf_config().
Changes in v3:
- Add a config variable 'kmem.default' with a default value
into 'struct default_configset' which has default config variables and
values.
- Add a option '--global' and '--local' to enable config file location
to be selected
Changes in v2:
- Renaming variables a more suitable name
1. '--list-all' instead of '--all'
2. 'name' instead of 'subkey'
3. 'section, name, value' instead of 'given_section, subkey, value'
- Correct small infelicities or typing errors in a perf-config
documention.
- Remove a part description of report.children
because it was duplicated in
Documentation/callchain-overhead-calculation.txt
- Use a variable 'int actions' instead of struct params which has
'bool list_action' , 'bool get_action’ and etc. , to simplify a
branching statement
for perf-config options.
- Declaration a global variable 'static struct default_configsets' has
config variables
with default values instead of using a 'util/PERFCONFIG-DEFAULT' file
and remove functions merge() and perse_key() to get perf config default
values.
- Add a function to normalize a value and check data type of it.
- Simplify parsing arguments as arguments is just divided by '=' and
then
in front of '.' is a section, between '.' and '=' is a name, and behind
'=' is a value.
- Print config variables 'struct default_configsets' haven't
- Make a command ’perf config' without a option work as with a option
'—list'
instead of '--list-all’.
