With a file, to write data an offset needs to be known. Typically data follows the event attributes in a file. However, if processing a pipe the number of event attributes may not be known. It is convenient in that case to write the attributes after the data. Expand perf_session__do_write_header() to allow this when the data offset and size are known. This approach may be useful for more than just taking a pipe file to write into a data file, `perf inject --itrace` will reserve and additional 8kb for attributes, which would be unnecessary if the attributes were written after the data.

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 reStructuredText 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.
