Arjan van de Ven dfe5a50461 perf: avoid structure size confusion by using a fixed size ... for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files (the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it). The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason. But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage. The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug is not normally noticed. .... except when you want every sample to be exact. Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.
