+Subject: perf tools: do not look at ./config for configuration
+
+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.
