Subject: perf record: Don't try to find buildids in a zero sized file
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.34-rc2~19^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9f591fd76afdc0e5192e9ed00a36f8efc0b4dfe6;p=pandora-kernel.git

perf record: Don't try to find buildids in a zero sized file

Fixing this symptom:

 [acme@mica linux-2.6-tip]$ perf record -a -f
   Fatal: Permission error - are you root?

 Bus error
 [acme@mica linux-2.6-tip]$

I.e. if for some reason no data is collected, in this case a non
root user trying to do systemwide profiling, no data will be
collected, and then we end up trying to mmap a zero sized file
and access the file header, b00m.
