perf session: Try to read pipe data from file
Ian came with the idea of having support to read the pipe data also from file. Currently pipe mode files fail like: $ perf record -o - sleep 1 > /tmp/perf.pipe.data $ perf report -i /tmp/perf.pipe.data incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more) This patch adds the support to do that by trying the pipe header first, and if its successfully detected, switching the perf data to pipe mode. Committer testing: # ls # perf record -a -o - sleep 1 > /tmp/perf.pipe.data [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ] # ls # perf report -i /tmp/perf.pipe.data | head -25 # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 511 of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 178447276 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ................. ........................................................................................... # 65.49% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt 6.45% chromium libblink_core.so [.] blink::SelectorChecker::CheckOne 4.08% chromium libblink_core.so [.] blink::SelectorQuery::ExecuteForTraverseRoot<blink::AllElementsSelectorQueryTrait> 2.25% chromium libblink_core.so [.] blink::SelectorQuery::FindTraverseRootsAndExecute<blink::AllElementsSelectorQueryTrait> 2.11% chromium libblink_core.so [.] blink::SelectorChecker::MatchSelector 1.91% chromium libblink_core.so [.] blink::Node::OwnerShadowHost 1.31% chromium libblink_core.so [.] blink::Node::parentNode@plt 1.22% chromium libblink_core.so [.] blink::Node::parentNode 0.59% chromium libblink_core.so [.] blink::AnyAttributeMatches 0.58% chromium libv8.so [.] v8::internal::GlobalHandles::Create 0.58% chromium libblink_core.so [.] blink::NodeTraversal::NextAncestorSibling 0.55% chromium libv8.so [.] v8::internal::RegExpGlobalCache::RegExpGlobalCache 0.55% chromium libblink_core.so [.] blink::Node::ContainingShadowRoot 0.55% chromium libblink_core.so [.] blink::NodeTraversal::NextAncestorSibling@plt # Original-patch-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Khuong <pvk@pvk.ca> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200507095024.2789147-4-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
