[PATCH] perf config: Add stat.big-num support

From: Paul A. Clarke
Date: Wed May 20 2020 - 11:34:02 EST


From: "Paul A. Clarke" <pc@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add support for new "stat.big-num" boolean option.

This allows a user to set a default for "--no-big-num" for "perf stat"
commands.

$ perf config stat.big-num
$ perf stat --event cycles /bin/true

Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

803,684 cycles
[...]
$ perf config stat.big-num=0
$ perf config stat.big-num
stat.big-num=0
$ perf stat --event cycles /bin/true

Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

790448 cycles
[...]

There is an interaction with "--field-separator" that must be
accommodated, such that specifying "--big-num --field-separator={x}"
still reports an invalid combination of options.

Testing results with a matrix of:
- nothing in .perfconfig, stat.big-num=0, stat.big-num=1
- --field-separator not set, --field-separator=:
- no "--big-num", --big-num, --no-big-num
