perf report: Fix some option handling on --stdio
There's a bug that perf report sometimes ignore some options on --stdio output. This bug is triggered only if a related config variable is set. For example, let's assume we have a following config file. $ cat ~/.perfconfig [call-graph] print-type = graph [hist] percentage = absolute Then, following perf config will not honor some options. $ perf record -ag sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.199 MB perf.data (77 samples) ] $ perf report -g none --stdio # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # Samples: 77 of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 25425383 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ............... ....................... .............. # 16.34% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle | ---intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter cpu_startup_entry ... With '-g none' option, it should not show callchains, but it still shows callchains. However it works as expected on --tui output. Similarly, '--percentage relative' option is not work and still shows a absolute percentage values. Looking at the source, I found that those setting were overwritten by config variables when setup_pager() called. The setup_pager() is to start a pager process so that it can manage long lines of output on the stdio mode. But as it calls the perf_config() after parsing arguments, the settings were overwritten regardless of command line options. The reason it calls perf_config() is to find the 'pager_program' which might be set by a config variable, I guess. However current perf code does not provide the config variable for it, so it's just meaningless IMHO. Eliminating the call makes the option working as expected.
