No, it is not, it is filled in userspace:

tools/perf/util/event.c:

int event__parse_sample(event_t *event, u64 type, struct sample_data *data)
{
u64 *array = event->sample.array;

if (type & PERF_SAMPLE_IP) {
data->ip = event->ip.ip;
array++;
}

if (type & PERF_SAMPLE_TID) {
u32 *p = (u32 *)array;
data->pid = p[0];
data->tid = p[1];
array++;
}

if (type & PERF_SAMPLE_TIME) {
data->time = *array;
array++;
}
<SNIP>

We can reorder it at will and decoupled from any kernel changes.
