When the input is a regular file but the output is a pipe, it should write a pipe header. But just repiping would write a portion of the existing header which is different in 'size' value. So we need to prevent it and write a new pipe header along with other information like event attributes and features. This can handle something like this: # perf record -a -B sleep 1 # perf inject -b -i perf.data | perf report -i - Factor out perf_event__synthesize_for_pipe() to be shared between perf record and inject.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
