[PATCH v2 3/6] perf record: Force enable --timestamp-filename when --switch-output is provided

From: Wang Nan
Date: Thu Apr 14 2016 - 10:23:49 EST


Without this patch, the last output doesn't have timestamp appended if
--timestamp-filename is not explicitly provided. For example:

# perf record -a --switch-output &
[1] 11224
# kill -s SIGUSR2 11224
[ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
# [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622372823 ]

# fg
perf record -a --switch-output
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.027 MB perf.data (540 samples) ]

# ls -l
total 836
-rw------- 1 root root 33256 Dec 26 22:37 perf.data <---- *Odd*
-rw------- 1 root root 817156 Dec 26 22:37 perf.data.2015122622372823
