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.

I'd be grateful if you could take a look when you have a moment. Thank you for your time and consideration.
