perf tools: Add 'ping' control command
Add a control 'ping' command to detect if perf is up and its control interface is operational. It will be used in following daemon patches to synchronize with record session - when control interface is up and running, we know that perf record is monitoring and ready to receive signals. Example session: terminal 1: # mkfifo control ack # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack terminal 2: # echo ping > control # cat ack ack Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexei Budankov <abudankov@huawei.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201226232038.390883-5-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
