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. Ingo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
