I wonder we could reinit the sortorder once we know what
events we have in pipe, and recognize the tracepoint output
properly:

[root@krava perf]# ./perf record -e 'sched:sched_switch' sleep 1 | ./perf report
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

SNIP

#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. ..............
#
100.00% sleep [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __schedule


also I've got another crash for (added -a option for above example):

[root@krava perf]# ./perf record -e 'sched:sched_switch' -a sleep 1 | ./perf report
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB (null) ]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

looks like some mem corruption.. will try to follow up
on this later if nobody beats me to it ;-)

thanks,
