Hm, so I'm getting this error, when trying to profile a 32-bit 
ELF binary on a 64-bit kernel, on a testbox:

 $ perf record ~/hackbench  10
 Time: 0.115
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.373 MB perf.data (~16279 samples) ]
 sh: perf-read-vdso32: command not found

comet:~/tip> file ~/hackbench 
/home/mingo/hackbench: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped

64-bit executables work fine:

 $ perf record perf bench sched pipe
 # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
 # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

      Total time: 13.374 [sec]

       13.374352 usecs/op
           74769 ops/sec
 [ perf record: Woken up 14 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.602 MB perf.data (~157354 samples) ]

The kernel is an older one:

 $ uname -a
 Linux comet 3.14.17-100.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 14 17:17:26 
 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks,

	Ingo
