[PATCH 1/3] perf tools: Add call-graph option support into .perfconfig

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Fri Nov 01 2013 - 11:24:08 EST


Adding call-graph option support into .perfconfig file,
so it's now possible use call-graph option like:

[top]
call-graph = fp

[record]
call-graph = dwarf,8192

Above options ONLY setup the unwind method. To enable
perf record/top to actually use it the command line
option -g/-G must be specified.

The --call-graph option overloads .perfconfig setup.

Assuming above configuration:

$ perf record -g ls
- enables dwarf unwind with user stack size dump 8192 bytes

$ perf top -G
- enables frame pointer unwind

$ perf record --call-graph=fp ls
- enables frame pointer unwind

$ perf top --call-graph=dwarf,4096 ls
- enables dwarf unwind with user stack size dump 4096 bytes

v2 changes:
- Documentation updated
