Subject: [PATCH 46/76] perf tools: Validate perf event header size

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com>

The 'size' variable includes the header so must be at least
'sizeof(struct perf_event_header)'.  Error out immediately if that is
not the case.  Also don't byte-swap the header until it is actually
"fetched" from the mmap region.
