Do you mean this?

struct perf_report {
	struct perf_tool	tool;
	struct perf_session	*session;
	char const		*input_name;
	bool			force, use_tui, use_gtk, use_stdio;
	bool			hide_unresolved;
	bool			dont_use_callchains;
	bool			show_full_info;
	bool			show_threads;
	bool			inverted_callchain;
	struct perf_read_values	show_threads_values;
	const char		*pretty_printing_style;
	symbol_filter_t		annotate_init;
	const char		*cpu_list;
	const char		*symbol_filter_str;
	DECLARE_BITMAP(cpu_bitmap, MAX_NR_CPUS);
};
