[PATCH v11 7/9] perf report: Add --no-progress option
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Sun Oct 04 2026 - 13:33:52 EST
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>
Now that --progress is being added for the stdio case, wire up its
counterpart for the browsers: the TUI and GTK ones present progress of
their own and there is no way to turn it off. Install the no-op
ui_progress ops, the ones already used until a backend sets theirs,
after setup_browser() installed the ones of the browser in use. The
phases are still counted, nothing is shown for them, and no second
option is needed for it: parse-options provides --no-progress as the
negation of --progress, report.progress_set saying that it was asked
for, report.progress being false both when nothing was asked for and
when --no-progress was.
