From cbb5cf7ff6b298beacfe23db3386335b0b9c0a2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Zanussi Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 23:02:10 -0500 Subject: perf: Use read() instead of lseek() in trace_event_read.c:skip() This is a small fix for a problem affecting live-mode, introduced recently: root@tropicana:~# perf trace rwtop perf trace started with Perl script /root/libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/rwtop.pl Fatal: did not read header event commit d00a47cce569a3e660a8c9de5d57af28d6a9f0f7 added a skip() function to skip over e.g. header_page, but this doesn't work for live mode. This patch re-implements skip() to use read() instead of lseek() to fix that.
