[PATCH] perf record: Display data size on pipe mode

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Fri Jan 12 2024 - 18:13:49 EST


Currently pipe mode doesn't set the file size and it results in a
misleading message of 0 data size at the end. Although it might miss
some accounting for pipe header or more, just displaying the data size
would reduce the possible confusion.

Before:
$ perf record -o- perf test -w noploop | perf report -i- -q --percent-limit=1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ] <====== (here)
99.58% perf perf [.] noploop

After:
$ perf record -o- perf test -w noploop | perf report -i- -q --percent-limit=1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.229 MB - ]
99.46% perf perf [.] noploop
