Subject: [PATCH] perf tool: Fix cross-endian analysis
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 16:15:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1428610546-178789-1-git-send-email-david.ahern@oracle.com> (raw)
Trying to analyze a big endian data file on little endian system
fails with the error:
0xa9b40 [0x70]: failed to process type: 9
The problem is that header parsing is not done correctly because
the file attributes are not swapped. Make it so. With this patch
able to analyze a sparc64 data file on x86_64.
