[PATCH 01/12] perf jitdump: Fix extended header read that always fails

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

jit_open() sets bsz = bs before the fread() that uses bs - bsz as the
read size, making the expression always evaluate to zero.  fread() with
size 0 returns 0, which triggers the ret != 1 error path — so extended
jitdump headers (total_size > sizeof(header)) have been silently broken
since the original implementation.

Additionally, when 0 < bs <= bsz the if (bs > bsz) block is skipped
entirely, leaving extended header bytes unread in the stream.  Subsequent
jit_get_next_entry() calls then parse those leftover bytes as a
jr_prefix, corrupting the record stream.

Fix by separating the buffer growth from the read: realloc only when
bs > bsz, then unconditionally fread bs bytes when bs > 0.

Fixes: 9b07e27f88b9cd78 ("perf inject: Add jitdump mmap injection support")
