perf daemon: Set control fifo for session
Setup control fifos for session and add --control option to session
arguments.
Example:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[session-sched]
run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
Starting the daemon:
# perf daemon start
Use can list control fifos with (control and ack files):
# perf daemon -v
[776459:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
output: /opt/perfdata/output
lock: /opt/perfdata/lock
[776460:cycles] perf record -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
base: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles
output: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output
control: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/control
ack: /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/ack
[776461:sched] perf record -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
base: /opt/perfdata/session-sched
output: /opt/perfdata/session-sched/output
control: /opt/perfdata/session-sched/control
ack: /opt/perfdata/session-sched/ack
