Because perf data from pipe do not have a header with evsel attr, we
should not check that and disable symbol_conf.use_callchain. Otherwise,
perf script won't show callchains even if the data stream contains
callchain.
Before:
$ perf record -g -o - uname |perf script
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
uname 1828 182630.186578: 250000 cpu-clock: ..b9499 setup_arg_pages
uname 1828 182630.186850: 250000 cpu-clock: ..83b20 ___might_sleep
uname 1828 182630.187153: 250000 cpu-clock: ..4b6be file_map_prot_ch
...
After:
$ perf record -g -o - uname |perf script
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
uname 1833 182675.927099: 250000 cpu-clock:
