[PATCH 05/10] perf util: Parse header_page to get proper long size

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Apr 15 2013 - 01:13:06 EST


From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

The header_page file describes the format of the ring buffer page
which is used by ftrace (not perf). And size of "commit" field (I
guess it's older name was 'size') represents the real size of long
type used for kernel. So update the pevent's long size.
