Subject[PATCH] perf session: Try to read pipe data from file
Date
From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>

Ian came with the idea of having support to read the pipe
data also from file [1]. Currently pipe mode files fails
like:

$ perf record -o - sleep 1 > /tmp/perf.pipe.data
$ perf report -i /tmp/perf.pipe.data
incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)

This patch adds the support to do that by trying the pipe
header first, and if its successfully detected, switching
the perf data to pipe mode.
