    Jiri Olsa authored
    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
