perf intel-pt: Do not try to queue auxtrace data on pipe
When it processes AUXTRACE_INFO, it calls to auxtrace_queue_data() to collect AUXTRACE data first. That won't work with pipe since it needs lseek() to read the scattered aux data. $ perf record -o- -e intel_pt// true | perf report -i- --itrace=i100 # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # 0x4118 [0xa0]: failed to process type: 70 Error: failed to process sample For the pipe mode, it can handle the aux data as it gets. But there's no guarantee it can get the aux data in time. So the following warning will be shown at the beginning: WARNING: Intel PT with pipe mode is not recommended. The output cannot relied upon. In particular, time stamps and the order of events may be incorrect.
