    perf tools: Add call-graph option support into .perfconfig · eb853e80

    Adding call-graph option support into .perfconfig file, so it's now
    possible use call-graph option like:
    
      [top]
            call-graph = fp
    
      [record]
            call-graph = dwarf,8192
    
    Above options ONLY setup the unwind method. To enable perf record/top to
    actually use it the command line option -g/-G must be specified.
    
    The --call-graph option overloads .perfconfig setup.
    
    Assuming above configuration:
    
      $ perf record -g ls
      - enables dwarf unwind with user stack size dump 8192 bytes
    
      $ perf top -G
      - enables frame pointer unwind
    
      $ perf record --call-graph=fp ls
      - enables frame pointer unwind
    
      $ perf top --call-graph=dwarf,4096 ls
      - enables dwarf unwind with user stack size dump 4096 bytes
