I added this on top:

diff --git a/tools/perf/util/header.c b/tools/perf/util/header.c
index 25f89d0790fe..47877f0f6667 100644
--- a/tools/perf/util/header.c
+++ b/tools/perf/util/header.c
@@ -3560,6 +3560,9 @@ int perf_session__read_header(struct perf_session *session)
        }

        if (f_header.attr_size == 0) {
+               pr_err("ERROR: The %s file's attr size field is 0 which is unexpected.\n"
+                      "Was the 'perf record' command properly terminated?\n",
+                      data->file.path);
                return -EINVAL;
        }

Thanks, applied.
