This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf inject: Fix repipe usage to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-inject-fix-repipe-usage.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 41e9cd56c9f5566447ee98477a2cc37323e56ec2 Author: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 1 13:36:05 2021 +0300 perf inject: Fix repipe usage [ Upstream commit 026334a3bb6a3919b42aba9fc11843db2b77fd41 ] Since commit 14d3d54052539a1e ("perf session: Try to read pipe data from file") 'perf inject' has started printing "PERFILE2h" when not processing pipes. The commit exposed perf to the possiblity that the input is not a pipe but the 'repipe' parameter gets used. That causes the printing because perf inject sets 'repipe' to true always. The 'repipe' parameter of perf_session__new() is used by 2 functions: - perf_file_header__read_pipe() - trace_report() In both cases, the functions copy data to STDOUT_FILENO when 'repipe' is true. Fix by setting 'repipe' to true only if the output is a pipe.
