perf record: Check conflict between '--timestamp-filename' option and pipe mode before recording
[ Upstream commit 02f9b50e04812782fd006ed21c6da1c5e3e373da ]
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.
