perf session: Fail on processing event with unknown size
Currently if we cannot decide the size of the event, we guess next event possition by: "... check alignment, and increment a single u64 in the hope to catch on again 'soon'" This usually ends up with segfault or endless loop. It's better to admit the failure right away, then pretend nothing happened. It makes the life easier ;) Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120416184251.GA11503@m.brq.redhat.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
