IMHO, there are several reasons

     1) To use only one list (default config, custom config(user/system))

1-1) I used two list that were 'list_head sections'
and 'config_item default_configs[]'. So if checking
type of config variable, two for-loop must be needed
for each list. Because two structure was different i.e.

'sections' list mean config_section list
that each section contain config_element list.
(there wasn't telling about correct type of 'value' instead of 
string(char *))

     struct config_element {
             char *name;
             char *value;
             struct list_head list;
     };

     struct config_section {
             char *name;
             struct list_head element_head;
             struct list_head list;
     };

'struct config_item default_configs[]' mean all default configs.

     struct config_item {
             const char *section;
             const char *name;
             union {
                 bool b;
                 int i;
                 u32 l;
                 u64 ll;
                 float f;
                 double d;
                 const char *s;
             } value;
             enum config_type type;
             const char *desc;
     };


IMHO, I think this is a bit complex
and I want to simplify the perf's config list on perf-config.

     2) A small number of perf's configs

I think perf's configs aren't too many so I think
two structure for section and element aren't needed.

     3) A object for a config variable need to have enough info for itself

This is a bit similar to 1) reason.
If using only 'struct config_item' for the config list,
it can contain section name, name, values(default, user config,
system config, both config), correct type, etc.

If we do, we needn't to find detail for a config variable at other 
objects e.g.
When we find correct type of a config variable,
we needn't to do for-loop for default_configs[] in order to know the type.


I think this is better than old two structure.

Yes, I know it.
If don't using '--user' or '--system',
there isn't exclusive config file path
then have to read both config files.

But because user config file has a high order of priority,
if two config file has same variable, old value(for system config)
must be overwrote by new value(for user config).
