Support directory output that contains a regular perf.data file, named "data". By default the directory is named perf.data i.e. perf.data └── data Most of the infrastructure to support a directory is already there. This patch makes the changes needed to support the format above. Presently there is no 'perf record' option to output a directory. This is preparation for adding support for putting a copy of /proc/kcore in the directory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
