            Bug ID: 214964
           Summary: pmcstat -R with an empty sample file waits
                    indefinitely
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: emaste@freebsd.org

I would like to get an automated 1s sample of profiling data and output sam=
pled
calltraces with something like:

timeout 1 pmcstat -P unhalted-cycles -t <pid> -O sample.out
pmcstat -R sample.out -G /dev/stdout

However, if sample.out is empty (because the process is sleeping, say), the
second pmcstat waits indefinitely for data to appear in the sample.out file.

% sleep 3600 &
[1] 52998
% timeout 1 pmcstat -P unhalted-cycles -t 52998 -O sample.out
% pmcstat -R sample.out -G /dev/stdout=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
load: 4.81  cmd: pmcstat 54160 [kqread] 1.19r 0.00u 0.00s 0% 2960k
