    perf record: Check conflict between '--timestamp-filename' option and pipe mode before recording · 02f9b50e
    Yang Jihong authored
    In pipe mode, no need to switch perf data output, therefore,
    '--timestamp-filename' option should not take effect.
    Check the conflict before recording and output WARNING.
    In this case, the check pipe mode in perf_data__switch() can be removed.
    
    Before:
    
      # perf record --timestamp-filename -o- perf test -w noploop | perf report -i- --percent-limit=1
      # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

    After:
    
      # perf record --timestamp-filename -o- perf test -w noploop | perf report -i- --percent-limit=1
      WARNING: --timestamp-filename option is not available in pipe mode.
