[PATCH 8/8] perf daemon: Set control fifo for session

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

Setup control fifos for session and add --control
option to session arguments.

Use can list control fifos with:

   # perf daemon -v
   [1:92187] perf record -m 11M -e cycles -o /opt/perfdata/1/perf.data --overwrite --switch-output -a
     output:  /opt/perfdata/1/output
     control: /opt/perfdata/1/control
     ack:     /opt/perfdata/1/ack

 This command allows to run simple daemon process that starts and
 monitors configured record sessions.
 
-Each session represents one perf record process.
+Each session represents one perf record process started with
+control setup (with perf record --control.. options).
 
 These sessions are configured through config file, see CONFIG FILE
 section with EXAMPLES.
