Just a detail: it would be nice to make all the user facing messages in 
tools/perf/util/header.c more specific and more structured. For example 
prefixing it with 'perf header:' would be fine:

        WARNING: perf/header: Data size is 0. Was the 'perf record' command 
properly terminated?

or something like that.

etc.
