Jiri Olsa 14d3d54052 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.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
