[PATCH 08/22] perf daemon: Add config file change check

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Sat Jan 02 2021 - 17:06:12 EST


Adding support to detect daemon's config file changes
and re-read the configuration when that happens.

Using inotify file descriptor pluged into the main
fdarray object for polling.

Example:

# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata

[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

Starting the daemon:

# perf daemon start

Check sessions:

# perf daemon
[772262:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
[772263:cycles] perf record -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

Change '-m 10M' to '-m 20M', and check daemon log:

# tail -f /opt/perfdata/output
[2021-01-02 20:31:41.234045] daemon started (pid 772262)
[2021-01-02 20:31:41.235072] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:772263]: -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[2021-01-02 20:32:08.310137] reconfig: session 'cycles' killed
[2021-01-02 20:32:08.310847] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:772338]: -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

And the session list:

# perf daemon
[772262:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
[772338:cycles] perf record -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

Note the changed '-m 20M' option is in place.
