perf tools: Add FIFO file names as alternative options to --control
Enable the --control option to accept file names as an alternative to
file descriptors.
Example:
$ mkfifo perf.control
$ mkfifo perf.ack
$ cat perf.ack &
[1] 6808
$ perf record --control fifo:perf.control,perf.ack -- sleep 300 &
[2] 6810
$ echo disable > perf.control
$ Events disabled
ack
$ echo enable > perf.control
$ Events enabled
ack
$ echo disable > perf.control
$ Events disabled
ack
$ kill %2
[ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ]
$ [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
[1]- Done cat perf.ack
[2]+ Terminated perf record --control fifo:perf.control,perf.ack -- sleep 300
