From 62db90681c0db8c76e5db006b929a2edd5d12ae6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2012 23:21:07 +0100 Subject: perf tools: Fix ABI compatibility bug in print_event_desc() This patches cleans up local variable types for msz and ret. They need to be size_t and ssize_t respectively. It also fixes a bug whereby perf would not read attr struct with a different size than what it knows about.
