[PATCH v10 00/22] perf tools: Add 'perf-config' command

[PATCH v10 00/22] perf tools: Add 'perf-config' command

[Taeung Song]

So far, it is difficult that the state of perf configs is looked through
and there's no knowing what kind of other variables except variables in perfconfig.example.
Also perf configs can't be changed without manually modifying $HOME/.perfconfig or
$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig file. So I suggest this patchset of the perf-config command
which can list, get, set, remove perf configs or list with default config values as below.

Changes in v10:
	- Split perf-config.txt into several patches for each section and replace some
	paragraphes with better proper things as suggested by Arnaldo and Namhyung
	(PATCH v10 2~15/22)
	- Correct wrong default values for each variable as suggested by Namhyung
	(PATCH v10 18/22)
	- Remove the compare name function.

Changes in v9:
	- Add the compare name functionality treating '-' and '-' as being the same thing
	for usability (PATCH v9 4/9)

Changes in v8:
	- Correct small typing errors in a perf-config documention (PATCH v8 1/8)
	- Split the collecting configs part into a separate patch (PATCH v8 3/8)
	- Use new enum and struct for default configs instead of hard-coded value
	as suggested by Namhyung (PATCH v8 4/8)

Changes in v7:
	- Modify explanations of syntax and options(color, gtk, tui, buildid, annotate)
	to be better proper descriptions as suggested by Arnaldo (PATCH v7 1/7)

Changes in v6:
	- Split a 'set' feature patch into two patch to separate normalize_value() from it. 
	(PATCH v6 5/7, PATCH v6 6/7)
	- Bug fix : 'remove' and 'set' malfunctions when without a specific file-option.
	(If file-option isn't used, 'remove' feature had to use both user and system
	config file and 'set' feature had to only handle user config file.)
	(PATCH v6 5/7, PATCH v6 7/7)

Changes in v5:
	- Simplify the switch statement in cmd_config()
	- Set a config file path with '--system' or '--user'
	instead of '--global' or '--system' as suggested by Namhyung. (PATCH v5 2/6)
	- The patch about 'get' and 'set 'split into two patchs
	as suggested by Namhyung. (PATCH v5 4/6, PATCH v5 5/6)

Changes in v4:
	- If some config value is default value, notice it is '(default)'
	as suggested by Jirka. (PATCH v4 3/5)

	- If there wasn't any perfconfig file, perf-config malfunctioned like
	Jirka pointed out. So add exception routine with '--global' and '--system'
	option which can select perf config file path. (PATCH v4 2/5)

Changes in v3:
	- Add a config variable 'kmem.default' with a default value as suggested by Namhyung.
	(PATCH v3 2/5, PATCH v4 3/5)

Changes in v2:
	- Change option name of listing all configs as '--list-all' instead of '--all'
	as suggested by Namhyung. (PATCH v2 3/4, PATCH v4 4/5)

	- Correct small infelicities or typing errors in a perf-config documention
	as suggested by Arnaldo. (PATCH v2 1/4, PATCH v4 1/5)

	- Declaration a global variable 'static struct default_configsets' has config variables
	with default values instead of using a 'util/PERFCONFIG-DEFAULT' file.
	(PATCH v2 3/4, PATCH v4 3/5)

	- Add a function to normalize a value and check data type of it.
	(PATCH v2 2/4, PATCH v4 3/5)

	- 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.
	(PATCH v2 2/4, PATCH v4 3/5)

	- If run perf-config command without any option, perf-config work as '--list'.
	(PATCH v2 1/4, PATCH v4 1/5)

[PATCH v10 01/22] perf tools: Add 'perf-config' command

[Taeung Song]

The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various
aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc.
But looking through state of configuration is difficult and
there's no knowing what kind of other variables except variables
in perfconfig.example exist. So This patch adds 'perf-config'
command with '--list' option.

    perf config [options]

    display current perf config variables.
    # perf config
    or
    # perf config -l | --list

+NAME
+----
+perf-config - Get and set variables in a configuration file.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf config' -l | --list
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+You can manage variables in a configuration file with this command.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+-l::
+--list::
+	Show current config variables, name and value, for all sections.
+
+CONFIGURATION FILE
+------------------
+
+The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various
+aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc.
+The '$HOME/.perfconfig' file is used to store a per-user configuration.
+The file '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig' can be used to
+store a system-wide default configuration.
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+The file consist of sections. A section starts with its name
+surrounded by square brackets and continues till the next section
+begins. Each variable must be in a section, and have the form
+'name = value', for example:
+
+	[section]
+		name1 = value1
+		name2 = value2
+
+Section names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
+newline (double quote `"` and backslash have to be escaped as `\"` and `\\`,
+respectively). Section headers can't span multiple lines.
+
+Example
+~~~~~~~
+
+Given a $HOME/.perfconfig like this:
+
+#
+# This is the config file, and
+# a '#' and ';' character indicates a comment
+#
+
+[colors]
+	# Color variables
+	top = red, default
+	medium = green, default
+	normal = lightgray, default
+	selected = white, lightgray
+	code = blue, default
+	addr = magenta, default
+	root = white, blue
+
+[tui]
+	# Defaults if linked with libslang
+	report = on
+	annotate = on
+	top = on
+
+[buildid]
+	# Default, disable using /dev/null
+	dir = ~/.debug
+
+[annotate]
+	# Defaults
+	hide_src_code = false
+	use_offset = true
+	jump_arrows = true
+	show_nr_jumps = false
+
+[help]
+	# Format can be man, info, web or html
+	format = man
+	autocorrect = 0
+
+[ui]
+	show-headers= true
+
+[call-graph]
+	# fp (framepointer), dwarf
+	record-mode = fp
+	print-type = graph
+	order = caller
+	sort-key = function

+
+	call-graph.record-mode::
+		The record-mode can be 'fp' (frame pointer) and 'dwarf'.
+		The value of 'dwarf' is effective only if perf detect needed library
+		(libunwind or a recent version of libdw).  Also it doesn't *require*
+		the dump-size option since it can use the default value of 8192 if
+		missing.
+
+	call-graph.dump-size::
+		The size of stack to dump in order to do post-unwinding.  Default is 8192 (byte).
+		When using dwarf into record-mode this option should have a value.
+
+	call-graph.print-type::
+		The print-types can be graph (graph absolute), fractal (graph relative), flat.
+		This option controls a way to show overhead for each callchain entry.
+		Suppose a following example.

+		                 main
+
+		This output is a 'fractal' format. The 'foo' came from 'bar' and 'baz' exactly
+		half and half so 'fractal' shows 50.00% for each
+		(meaning that it assumes 100% total overhead of 'foo').
+
+		The 'graph' uses absolute overhead value of 'foo' as total so each of
+		'bar' and 'baz' callchain will have 20.00% of overhead.
+
+	call-graph.order::
+		This option controls print order of callchains. The default is
+		'callee' which means callee is printed at top and then followed by its
+		caller and so on.  The 'caller' prints it in reverse order.
+
+		If this option is not set and report.children or top.children is
+		set to true (or the equivalent command line option is given),
+		the default value of this option is changed to 'caller' for the
+		execution of 'perf report' or 'perf top'.  Other commands will
+		still default to 'callee'.
+
+	call-graph.sort-key::
+		The callchains are merged if they contain same information.
+		The sort-key option determines a way to compare the callchains.
+		A value of 'sort-key' can be 'function' or 'address'.
+		The default is 'function'.
+
+	call-graph.threshold::
+		When there're many callchains it'd print tons of lines.  So perf omits
+		small callchains under a certain overhead (threshold) and this option
+		control the threashold.  Default is 0.5 (%).
+
+	call-graph.print-limit::
+		This is another way to control the number of callchains printed for a

[PATCH v10 17/22] perf config: Collect configs to handle config variables

[Taeung Song]

Collecting configs into list because of two reason.

First of all, if there are same variables both user
and system config file, they all will be printed
when 'list' command work. But if config variables are
duplicated, user config variables should only be printed
because it has priority.

Lastly, list into which configs is collected
will be required to keep and handle config variables
and values in the near furture. For example,
getting or setting functionality.

And change show_config() function.
Old show_config() worked depending on perf_config().
New show_config() work using collected configs list.

[PATCH v10 18/22] perf config: Add 'list-all' option to perf-config

[Taeung Song]

'list-all' option is to display both current config variables
and all possible config variables with default values.
The syntax examples are like below

    perf config [<file-option>] [options]

    display all perf config with default values.
    # perf config -a | --list-all

[PATCH v10 21/22] perf config: normalize a value depending on default type of it

[Taeung Song]

Whether or not user mis-type wrong data type to set config,
normalize the value. If a config user enter isn't contained
in default configs, just pass as it is.
For the examples,

   # perf config report.queue-size=1M
   # perf config report.queue-size
   report.queue-size=1048576

So, trying to use it:

  $ perf config
  $

It does nothing, it should either list the configuration values, I think
probably showing just what is in the ~/.perfconfig files, i.e. things
the user explicitely changed, or show an usage message, like all the
other tools, for instance:

  $ perf stat

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

     -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
       -A, --no-aggr         disable CPU count aggregation
      -B, --big-num         print large numbers with thousands' separators
      -C, --cpu <cpu>       list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
 <SNIP>

'perf evlist' alternatively does, like perf list, show what a default
action:

  $ perf evlist
  cycles:pp
  $

And:

  $ perf list | head -5
  branch-instructions OR branches                    [Hardware event]
  branch-misses                                      [Hardware event]
  bus-cycles                                         [Hardware event]
  cache-misses                                       [Hardware event]
  cache-references                                   [Hardware event]
  $ 

While 'perf config' does nothing :-\

I suggest you do just like 'perf evlist' and 'perf list'.

And if I go ahead and do:

  $ perf config -h

   Usage: perf config [options]

      -l, --list            show current config variables

  $ 

Cool, tells me what is available, but then:

  $ perf config -l
  $

I suggest you print instead:

  $ perf config -l
  # Nothing configured, please check your ~/.perfconfig file
  $

This way you can redirect the output and it will always produce
something that can be used as a ~/.perfconfig file.

It will furthermore inform the user that ~/.perfconfig is the place to
add its configs.

I haven't checked, but do you have something like a :

  $ perf config --skel > ~/.perfconfig

That would produce an skeleton with the possible config variables so
that one could then use $EDITOR ~/.perfconfig and go on setting the
knobs?

Ideally that would produce something with comments over the variables
explaining what each of those options configures.
