Thanks for your notify!
I applied changes on your branch, but my problem was not solved...

I found that the member "offset" of struct perf_file_header is broken.
I made this easy change,

diff --git a/tools/perf/util/header.c b/tools/perf/util/header.c
index 6c9aa16..dbea087 100644
--- a/tools/perf/util/header.c
+++ b/tools/perf/util/header.c
@@ -571,6 +571,7 @@ int perf_header__process_sections(struct perf_header
*self, int fd,
if (perf_header__getbuffer64(self, fd, feat_sec, sec_size))
goto out_free;

+ printf("feat_sec->offset:%llu\n", feat_sec->offset);
err = 0;
while (idx < nr_sections && feat < HEADER_LAST_FEATURE) {
if (perf_header__has_feat(self, feat)) {
And the result is this:

% sudo ./perf lock report
Fatal: reading input file (size expected=3 received=0)
feat_sec->offset:18014402804449281 # <- Wow! :(

It seems that header of perf.data is broken...
But it may be a cause of this problem, I'll try to fix it.

Thanks,
Hitoshi
