perf tools: Fix endian conversion reading event attr from file header
The perf_event_attr struct has two __u32's at the top and they need to be swapped individually. With this change I was able to analyze a perf.data collected in a 32-bit PPC VM on an x86 system. I tested both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries for the Intel analysis side; both read the PPC perf.data file correctly. -v2: - changed the existing perf_event__attr_swap() to swap only elements of perf_event_attr and exported it for use in swapping the attributes in the file header - updated swap_ops used for processing events Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: acme@ghostprotocols.net Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1310754849-12474-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
