Subject: [PATCH] perf_event: missing field in PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE documentation
 (resend)


I sent this in November with no response, but the patch still 
applies.

While trying to write a perf_event/mmap test for my perf_event 
test-suite I came across a missing field description in the 
PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE documentation in perf_event.h
