David Carrillo-Cisneros e9def1b2e7 perf tools: Add feature header record to pipe-mode
Add header record types to pipe-mode, reusing the functions
used in file-mode and leveraging the new struct feat_fd.

For alignment, check that synthesized events don't exceed
pagesize.

Add the perf_event__synthesize_feature event call back to
process the new header records.

Before this patch:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
  ...

After this patch:
  $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
