Subject[PATCH v5 0/3] perf/core: Check sample_type in sample data saving helper functions
From
Hello,

We use helper functions to save raw data, callchain and branch stack in
perf_sample_data. These functions update perf_sample_data->dyn_size without
checking event->attr.sample_type, which may result in unused space
allocated in sample records. To prevent this from happening, this patchset
enforces checking sample_type of an event in these helper functions.

Thanks,
Yabin


Changes since v1:
- Check event->attr.sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_RAW before
calling perf_sample_save_raw_data().
- Subject has been changed to reflect the change of solution.

Changes since v2:
- Move sample_type check into perf_sample_save_raw_data().
- (New patch) Move sample_type check into perf_sample_save_callchain().
- (New patch) Move sample_type check into perf_sample_save_brstack().

Changes since v3:
- Fix -Werror=implicit-function-declaration by moving has_branch_stack().

Changes since v4:
- Give a warning if data->sample_flags is already set when calling the
helper functions.

Original commit message from v1:
perf/core: Trim dyn_size if raw data is absent

Original commit message from v2/v3:
perf/core: Save raw sample data conditionally based on sample type
