[PATCH] perf config : Adding a command 'config' with a option '--list' and a document for it.

From: Taeung Song
Date: Thu Feb 05 2015 - 03:05:42 EST


The perf configuration file contain many variables which can make
the perf command's action more effective and more skilful.
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 a command 'config --list' and a document for it.

+NAME
+----
+perf-config - Get and set variables in configuration file.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf config' --list
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+You can manage variables in configuration file with this command.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------

+-l::
+--list::
+ Show all variables with key and value into each sections.
+
+CONFIGURATION FILE
+------------------
+
+The Perf configuration file contain many variables which can make
+the perf command's action more effective, more skilful.
+The '$HOME/.perfconfig' file is used to store a per-user configuration.
+The file 'etc/perfconfig' or '$(sysconfdir)/.perfconf' can be used to
+store a system-wide default configuration.
+
+The variables are divided into sections. In each sections, the variables
+can contain a key and values.
+
+EXAMPLES
+------------
+
+Given a $HOME/.perfconfig like this:
+
+#
+# This is the config file, and

+ # If you use 'Dwarf style',
+ # you can add ', (dump-size)' to record-mode such as ', 24'
+ record-mode = fp
+
+ dump-size = 24
+
+ # graph (graph absolute), flat, fractal (graph relative)
