The perf.data may be generated by a newer version of perf tool, which support new input bits in attr, e.g. new bit for branch_sample_type. The perf.data may be parsed by an older version of perf tool later. The old perf tool may parse the perf.data incorrectly. There is no warning message for this case. Current perf header never check for unknown input bits in attr. When read the event desc from header, check the stored event attr. The reserved bits, sample type, read format and branch sample type will be checked.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
