Subject: perf trace: Fix parsing of perf.data
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8886f42d6d8dabeb488c706c339634a0e3e08df4;p=mv-sheeva.git

perf trace: Fix parsing of perf.data

We started parsing perf.data at head 0. This caused -D to
segfault and it could possibly also case incorrect trace
entries to be displayed.

Parse it at data_offset instead.
