[PATCH 1/5] perf events: Fix event inherit fallout of precalculated headers

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The precalculated header size is not updated when an event is inherited. That
results in bogus sample entries for all child events. Bug introduced in c320c7b.
