    perf: Convert perf tracing data into a tracing_data event · 9215545e
    Tom Zanussi authored
    Bypasses the tracing_data perf header code and replaces it with
    a synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes
    the same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a
    pipe.
    
    The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt
    to break it down into component events.  The tracing_data event
    itself doesn't actually contain the tracing data, rather it
    arranges for the event processing code to skip over it after
    it's read, using the skip return value added to the event
    processing loop in a previous patch.
