Yang Jihong 877c08e04e perf record: Check conflict between '--timestamp-filename' option and pipe mode before recording
[ Upstream commit 02f9b50e04 ]

In pipe mode, no need to switch perf data output, therefore,
'--timestamp-filename' option should not take effect.
Check the conflict before recording and output WARNING.
In this case, the check pipe mode in perf_data__switch() can be removed.

Before:

  # perf record --timestamp-filename -o- perf test -w noploop | perf report -i- --percent-limit=1
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Dump -.2024011812110182 ]
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 4K of event 'cycles:P'
  # Event count (approx.): 2176784359
  #
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object         Symbol
  # ........  .......  ....................  ......................................
  #
      97.83%  perf     perf                  [.] noploop

  #
  # (Tip: Print event counts in CSV format with: perf stat -x,)
  #

After:

  # perf record --timestamp-filename -o- perf test -w noploop | perf report -i- --percent-limit=1
  WARNING: --timestamp-filename option is not available in pipe mode.
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

README

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.
