[PATCH 07/10] perf report: Accept fifos as input file

From: Robert Richter
Date: Tue Dec 06 2011 - 05:35:35 EST


The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected
behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.:

# perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat
failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first)

While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to
be read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file.

Applies to the following commands:

perf annotate
perf buildid-list
perf evlist
perf kmem
perf lock
perf report
perf sched
perf script
perf timechart

Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename
strings.
