From 7354ec7a86c0cc03bebb7f86af8f20a88b27c262 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Sanfilippo Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 03:59:38 -0700 Subject: perf jit: Make perf skip unknown records The behavior before this commit was to skip the remaining portion of the jitdump in case an unknown record was found, including those records that perf could handle. With this change, parsing a record with an unknown id will cause a warning to be emitted, the record will be skipped and parsing will resume from the next (valid) one. The patch aims at making perf more future proof, by extracting as much information as possible from jitdumps.
