Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Revert "perf: Fix warning while reading ring buffer headers"
From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@....ibm.com>
This reverts commit d00a47cce569a3e660a8c9de5d57af28d6a9f0f7.
"perf: Fix warning while reading ring buffer headers"
The reverted patch removed the processing of the header_page, skipping
over it instead on the assumption that perf was not using any of the
data from that header. The patch neglected to remove the header_page_
variables which were initialised in the removed code, nor did it fix any
code that was using those variables.
In particular, long_size was set based on one of those variables
(header_page_size_size) to learn the size of a long from the kernel,
which is necessary to correctly print out some of the trace information
in some circumstances. For instance, the size of a long in a 64 bit
kernel would differ from the size of a long in perf if it was compiled
for a 32 bit userspace. Perf trace needs to know the size of a long in
the kernel so that it can print out the correct value without
truncation.
