Subject: [PATCHSET 0/8] perf/core: Prepare sample data for BPF

Hello,

The perf_prepare_sample() is to fill the perf sample data and update the
header info before sending it to the ring buffer.  But we want to use it
for BPF overflow handler so that it can access the sample data to filter
relevant ones.

Changes in v2)
 * the layout change is merged
 * reduce branches using __cond_set  (PeterZ)
 * add helpers to set dynamic sample data  (PeterZ)
 * introduce perf_prepare_header()  (PeterZ)
 * call perf_prepare_sample() before bpf_overflow_handler unconditionally

This means the perf_prepare_handler() can be called more than once.  To
avoid duplicate work, use the data->sample_flags and save the data size.

I also added a few of helpers to set those information accordingly.
But it looks some fields like REGS_USER, STACK_USER and AUX are saved in
the perf_prepare_sample() so I didn't add the helpers for them.

After than we can just check the filtered_sample_type flags begin zero
to determine if it has more work.  In that case, it needs to update the
data->type since it's possible to miss when PMU driver sets all required
sample flags before calling perf_prepare_sample().

The code is also available at 'perf/prepare-sample-v2' branch in

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

Thanks,
Namhyung
