Adrian Hunter a8fcbd269b perf tools: Add FIFO file names as alternative options to --control
Enable the --control option to accept file names as an alternative to
file descriptors.

Example:

  $ mkfifo perf.control
  $ mkfifo perf.ack
  $ cat perf.ack &
  [1] 6808
  $ perf record --control fifo:perf.control,perf.ack -- sleep 300 &
  [2] 6810
  $ echo disable > perf.control
  $ Events disabled
  ack

  $ echo enable > perf.control
  $ Events enabled
  ack

  $ echo disable > perf.control
  $ Events disabled
  ack

  $ kill %2
  [ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ]
  $ [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]

  [1]-  Done                    cat perf.ack
  [2]+  Terminated              perf record --control fifo:perf.control,perf.ack -- sleep 300
  $

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.
