From 794e43b56c18b95fc9776c914a2659e7d558a352 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Zanussi Date: Wed, 5 May 2010 00:27:40 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] perf/live-mode: Handle payload-less events Some events, such as the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event consist of only an event header and no data. In this case, a 0-length payload will be read, and the 0 return value will be wrongly interpreted as an 'unexpected end of event stream'. This patch allows for proper handling of data-less events by skipping 0-length reads.
