[PATCH v1 3/4] perf header: Display message if BPF/BTF info is empty

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Sat Jun 07 2025 - 02:14:20 EST


The perf.data file may contain a bpf_prog_info or bpf_btf feature. If
the contents of these are empty then nothing is displayed. Rather than
display nothing and not account for the file space, display an empty
message.
