perf trace: Read_tracing_data should die() another day
It better propagate errors, also if we do a simple: [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf record -R -a -f sleep 3s ; perf trace [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.182 MB perf.data (~7972 samples) ] Fatal: not an trace data file [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# That is what is expected, right? I.e. as we didn't specify any tracepoint event via -e, it should gracefully bail out and not SEGFAULT.
