perf_events: Fix unincremented buffer base on partial copy
If a sample size crosses to the next page boundary, the copy will be made in more than one step. However we forget to advance the source offset for the next copy, leading to unexpected double copies that completely mess up the traces. This fixes various kinds of bad traces that have irrelevant data inside, as an example: geany-4979 [001] 5758.077775: sched_switch: prev_comm=! prev_pid=121 prev_prio=0 prev_state=S|D|Z|X|x ==> next_comm= next_pid=7497072 next_prio=0 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <1274988898-5639-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
