The build-id events written at the end of the record session are broken
due to unexpected data. The write_buildid() writes the fixed length
event first and then variable length filename.
But a recent change made it write more data in the padding area
accidentally. So readers of the event see zero-filled data for the
next entry and treat it incorrectly. This resulted in wrong kernel
symbols because the kernel DSO loaded a random vmlinux image in the
path as it didn't have a valid build-id.

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 reStructuredText 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.
