[PATCH 10/10] perf tools: Fix line number in the config file error message

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Fri Sep 26 2014 - 16:20:44 EST


From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx>

If we fail to parse the config file within the callback function,
the line number counter 'could be' already on the next line.

This results in wrong line number report like:

$ cat ~/.perfconfig
[call-graph]
sort-key = krava
$ perf record ls
Fatal: bad config file line 3 in /home/jolsa/.perfconfig

Fixing this by saving the current line number for this case.
