perf config: Mark where are config items from (user or system)

2016-11-14T16:10:37+00:00

To write config items to a particular config file, we should know where
is each config section and item from.

Current setting functionality of perf-config use autogenerating way by
overwriting collected config items to a config file.

For example, when collecting config items from user and system config
files (i.e. ~/.perfconfig and $(sysconf)/perfconfig), perf_config_set
can contain both user and system config items.  So we should know where
each value is from to avoid merging user and system config items on user
config file.

perf config: Add support setting variables in a config file

2016-11-14T16:08:11+00:00

Add setting feature that can add config variables with their values to a
config file (i.e. user or system config file) or modify config key-value
pairs in a config file.  For the syntax examples:

    perf config [] [section.name[=value] ...]

e.g. You can set the ui.show-headers to false with

    # perf config ui.show-headers=false

If you want to add or modify several config items, you can do like

    # perf config annotate.show_nr_jumps=false kmem.default=slab

Committer notes:

Testing it:

  $ perf config -l
  top.children=true
  report.children=false
  $
  $ perf config top.children=false
  $ perf config -l
  top.children=false
  report.children=false
  $
  $ perf config kmem.default=slab
  $ perf config -l
  top.children=false
  report.children=false
  kmem.default=slab
  $

perf config: Introduce new init() and exit()

2016-06-23T20:20:04+00:00

Many sub-commands use perf_config() but everytime perf_config() is
called, perf_config() always read config files.  (i.e. user config
'~/.perfconfig' and system config '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig')

But it is better to use the config set that already contains all config
key-value pairs to avoid this repetitive work reading the config files
in perf_config(). (the config set mean a static variable 'config_set')

In other words, if new perf_config__init() is called, only first time
'config_set' is initialized collecting all configs from the config
files.  And then we could use new perf_config() like old perf_config().
When a sub-command finished, free the config set by perf_config__exit()
at run_builtin().

If we do, 'config_set' can be reused wherever perf_config() is called
and a feature of old perf_config() is the same as new perf_config() work
without the repetitive work that read the config files.

In summary, in order to use features about configuration,
we can call the functions at perf.c and other source files as below.

    # initialize a config set
    perf_config__init()

    # configure actual variables from a config set
    perf_config()

    # eliminate allocated config set
    perf_config__exit()

    # destroy existing config set and initialize a new config set.
    perf_config__refresh()

perf config: Handle NULL at perf_config_set__delete()

2016-06-14T12:29:53+00:00

perf_config_set__delete() purge and free the config set that contains
all config key-value pairs.  But if the config set (i.e. 'set' variable
at the function) is NULL, this is wrong so handle it.

perf config: Use new perf_config_set__init() to initialize config set

2016-06-07T14:01:25+00:00

Instead of perf_config(), this function initializes config set by
reading various files: user config ~/.perfconfig and system config
$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig).

If there are the same config variable in both user and system config
files, user config has higher priority than system config.

perf config: Constructor should free its allocated memory when failing

2016-06-07T13:58:55+00:00

Because of die() at perf_parse_file() a config set was freed in
collect_config(), if failed.  But it is natural to free a config set
after collect_config() is done when some problems happened.

So, in case of failure, lastly free a config set at perf_config_set__new()
instead of freeing the config set in collect_config().

perf config: Handle the error when config set is NULL at collect_config()

2016-06-06T20:43:19+00:00

collect_config() collect all config key-value pairs from config files
and put each config info in config set.  But if config set (i.e. 'set'
variable at collect_config()) is NULL, this is wrong so handle it.

perf config: Fix abnormal termination at perf_parse_file()

2016-06-06T20:43:17+00:00

If a config file has wrong key-value pairs, the perf process will be
forcibly terminated by die() at perf_parse_file() called by
perf_config() so terminal settings can be crushed because of unusual
termination.

For example:

If user config file has a wrong value 'red;default' instead of a normal
value like 'red, default' for a key 'colors.top',

    # cat ~/.perfconfig
    [colors]
        medium = red;default # wrong value

and if running sub-command 'top',

    # perf top

perf process is dead by force and terminal setting is broken
with a messge like below.

    Fatal: bad config file line 2 in /root/.perfconfig

So fix it.
If perf_config() can return on failure without calling die()
at perf_parse_file(), this problem can be solved.
And if a config file has wrong values, show the error message
and then use default config values instead of wrong config values.

perf config: Introduce perf_config_set class

2016-04-14T12:00:42+00:00

This infrastructure code was designed for upcoming features of
'perf config'.

That collect config key-value pairs from user and system config files
(i.e. user wide ~/.perfconfig and system wide $(sysconfdir)/perfconfig)
to manage perf's configs.
