From 114382a0aea97974803c942f106d462cbca5c64d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2012 23:21:08 +0100 Subject: perf tools: Make perf able to read files from older ABIs This patches provides a way to handle legacy perf.data files. Legacy files are those using the older PERFFILE signature. For those, it is still necessary to detect endianness but without comparing their header->attr_size with the tool's own version as it may be different. Instead, we use a reference table for all known sizes from the legacy era. We try all the combinations for sizes and endianness. If we find a match, we proceed, otherwise we return: "incompatible file format". This is also done for the pipe-mode file format.
