Subject: [PATCH 3.2 071/107] perf header: Fixup reading of HEADER_NRCPUS
 feature

3.2.72-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

commit caa470475d9b59eeff093ae650800d34612c4379 upstream.

The original patch introducing this header wrote the number of CPUs available
and online in one order and then swapped those values when reading, fix it.

Before:

  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 3
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 2

After the fix, bringing back the CPUs online:

  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 2
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 3
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: print_nrcpus() reads and prints these fields
 immediately, so read both of them into an array before printing them in
 reverse order.]
