	In the current version, when using perf record, if something goes wrong in tools/perf/builtin-record.c:375 session = perf_session__new(file, false, NULL); The error message: "Not enough memory for reading per file header" is issued. This error message seems to be outdated and is not very helpful. This patch proposes to replace this error message by "Perf session creation failed" I believe this issue has been brought to lkml: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/458 although this patch only tackles a (small) part of the issue. Additionnaly, this patch improves error reporting in tools/perf/util/data.c open_file_write. Currently, if the call to open fails, the user is unaware of it. This patch logs the error, before returning the error code to the caller.

2013-12-02	perf tools: Add perf_data_file__write interface	Jiri Olsa
	Adding perf_data_file__write interface to centralize output to files. The function prototype is: ssize_t perf_data_file__write(struct perf_data_file file, void buf, size_t size); Returns number of bytes written or -1 in case of error. NOTE: Also indenting 'struct perf_data_file' members, no functional change done.
