Actually, here's an updated patch to fix these..

FYI perf record/annotate/report works fine on my powerpc box here with
this. I don't have modules handy so I've not tested that aspect.

From: Sonny Rao <sonnyrao@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

While attempting to create a timechart of boot up I found
perf didn't tolerate modules being loaded/unloaded. This patch
fixes this by reading the file once and then writing the size
read at the correct point in the file. It also simplifies the
code somewhat.
