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
# ........ ............... ....................... ..............

---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.
