perf daemon: Add config file change check
Add support to detect changes to the daemon's config file triggering a re-read of the configuration when that happens. Use a inotify file descriptor plugged 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.
