From fea20d66f90cdbdc7dccf1fa001d40e084984e55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2021 15:31:51 -0700 Subject: perf inject: Fix output from a pipe to a file Sometimes it needs to save the perf inject data to a file for debugging. But normally it assumes the same format for input and output, so the end result cannot be used due to a broken format. # perf record -a -o - sleep 1 | perf inject -b -o my.data # perf report -i my.data --stdio 0x208 [0]: failed to process type: 0 [Invalid argument] Error: failed to process sample # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # In this case, it thought the data has a regular file header since the output is not a pipe. But actually it doesn't have one and has a pipe file header. At the end of the session, it tries to rewrite the regular file header with updated features and it overwrites the data just follows the pipe header. Fix it by checking either the input and the output is a pipe.
