Buggy perf.data files can have the attributes and data overlapping. For example, when processing pipe data the attributes aren't known and so file offset header calculations can consider them not present. Later this can cause the attributes to overwrite the data. This can be seen in: $ perf record -o - true > a.data [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.059 MB - ] $ perf inject -i a.data -o b.data $ perf report --stats -i b.data 0x68 [0]: failed to process type: 510379 [Invalid argument] Error: failed to process sample $ This change makes reading the corrupt file fail: $ perf report --stats -i b.data Perf file header corrupt: Attributes and data overlap incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more) $ Which is more informative.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
