[PATCH 36/38] perf report: Add --multi-thread option and config item

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Mar 02 2015 - 22:15:26 EST


The --multi-thread option is to enable parallel processing so user can
force serial processing even for indexed data file. It default to false
for now but users also can changes this by setting "report.multi_thread"
config option in ~/.perfconfig file.
