    Subject[09/19] perf tools: do not look at ./config for configuration
    2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------

    From: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>

    commit aba8d056078e47350d85b06a9cabd5afcc4b72ea upstream.

    In addition to /etc/perfconfig and $HOME/.perfconfig, perf looks for
    configuration in the file ./config, imitating git which looks at
    $GIT_DIR/config. If ./config is not a perf configuration file, it
    fails, or worse, treats it as a configuration file and changes behavior
    in some unexpected way.

    "config" is not an unusual name for a file to be lying around and perf
    does not have a private directory dedicated for its own use, so let's
    just stop looking for configuration in the cwd. Callers needing
    context-sensitive configuration can use the PERF_CONFIG environment
    variable.
