[PATCH 1/4] perf inject: Use perf_data__read() for auxtrace

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Jan 30 2023 - 21:34:05 EST


In copy_bytes(), it reads the data from the (input) fd and writes it to
the output file. But it does with the read(2) unconditionally which
caused a problem of mixing buffered vs unbuffered I/O together.

You can see the problem when using pipes.

$ perf record -e intel_pt// -o- true | perf inject -b > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
0x45c0 [0x30]: failed to process type: 71

It should use perf_data__read() to honor the 'use_stdio' setting.

Fixes: 601366678c93 ("perf data: Allow to use stdio functions for pipe mode")
