    perf: Use read() instead of lseek() in trace_event_read.c:skip() · cbb5cf7f
    Tom Zanussi authored
    This is a small fix for a problem affecting live-mode, introduced
    recently:
    
    root@tropicana:~# perf trace rwtop
    perf trace started with Perl
    script /root/libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/rwtop.pl
    
      Fatal: did not read header event
    
    commit d00a47cc added a skip()
    function to skip over e.g. header_page, but this doesn't work for
    live mode.  This patch re-implements skip() to use read() instead of
    lseek() to fix that.
