IIUC we want something like below to access sample data directly,
right?
BPF_CORE_READ(ctx, data, ip);
Some fields like raw and callchains will have variable length data
so it'd be hard to check the boundary at load time. Also it's possible
that some fields are not set (according to sample type), and it'd be
the user's (or programmer's) responsibility to check if the data is
valid. If these are not the concerns, I think I'm good.
