Mengting Zhang 9789e7e93f perf report: Fix debug messages with --call-graph option
With --call-graph option, perf report can display call chains using
type, min percent threshold, optional print limit and order. And the
default call-graph parameter is 'graph,0.5,caller,function,percent'.

Before this patch, 'perf report --call-graph' shows incorrect debug
messages as below:

  # perf report --call-graph
  Invalid callchain mode: 0.5
  Invalid callchain order: 0.5
  Invalid callchain sort key: 0.5
  Invalid callchain config key: 0.5
  Invalid callchain mode: caller
  Invalid callchain mode: function
  Invalid callchain order: function
  Invalid callchain mode: percent
  Invalid callchain order: percent
  Invalid callchain sort key: percent

That is because in function __parse_callchain_report_opt(),each field of
the call-graph parameter is passed to parse_callchain_{mode,order,
sort_key,value} in turn until it meets the matching value.

For example, the order field "caller" is passed to
parse_callchain_mode() firstly and obviously it doesn't match any mode
field. Therefore parse_callchain_mode() will shows the debug message
"Invalid callchain mode: caller", which could confuse users.

The patch fixes this issue by moving the warning out of the function
parse_callchain_{mode,order,sort_key,value}.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
