Subject: [RFC PATCH v6 0/7] perf config: Introduce default config key-value pairs arrays

Hello, :)

When initializing default perf config values,
we currently use values of actual type(int, bool, char *, etc.).
But I suggest using default config key-value pairs arrays.

For example,
If there isn't user config value at ~/.perfconfig for 'annotate.use_offset' config variable,
default value for it is 'true' bool type value in perf like below.

At ui/browsers/annoate.c

static struct annotate_browser_opt {
       bool hide_src_code,
            use_offset,
	    jump_arrows,
	    show_linenr,
	    show_nr_jumps,
	    show_total_period;
} annotate_browser__opts = {
       .use_offset      = true,
       .jump_arrows     = true,
};

But if we use new config arrays that have all default config key-value pairs,
we could initialize default config values with them.

If we do, we can manage default perf config values at one spot (like util/config.c)
and It can be easy and simple to modify existing default config values or
add default values for new config item.

For example,
If we use new default config arrays and there isn't user config value for 'annoate.use_offset'
default value for it will be set as annotate_config_items[CONFIG_ANNOATE_USE_OFFSET].value.b
instead of actual boolean type value 'true'.

IMHO, I think it would needed to use new default config arrays
to manage default perf config values more effectively.
And this pathset contains patchs for only 'colors' and 'annoate' section
because waiting for other opinions.

If you review this patchset, I'd appreciate it :-)

Thanks,
Taeung

v6:
- rename 'fore_back_colors' to simple 'colors' of ui_browser_colorset (Namhyung)
- remove unnecssary whitespace changes of PATCH 4/7, 5/7 (Namhyung)
- make more general macro instead of making accessor macro for each config section (Namhyung)

v5:
- rebased on current acme/perf/core

v4:
- rename 'fb_ground' to 'fore_back_colors' (Namhyung)
- add struct default_config_section
- split first patch[PATCH 1/7] as two
- remove perf_default_config_init() at perf.c
- rebased on current acme/perf/core

v3:
- remove default config arrays for the rest sections except 'colors' and 'annotate'
- use combined {fore, back}ground colors instead of each two color
- introduce perf_default_config_init() that call all default_*_config_init()
  for each config section

v2:
- rename 'ui_browser__config_gcolors' to 'ui_browser__config_colors' (Arnaldo)
- change 'ground colors' to '{back, fore}ground colors' (Arnaldo)
- use strtok + ltrim instead of strchr and while (isspace(*++bg)); (Arnaldo)

Taeung Song (7):

    items
  perf config: Add default section and item arrays for 'annotate' config
  perf config: Initialize annotate_browser__opts with default config
    items
