Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] perf/core: Save raw sample data conditionally based on
sample type

Oh, I thought it was ok because even if it sets _RAW bit in the
data->sample_flags unconditionally, perf_prepare_sample() and
perf_output_sample() checks the original event's attr->sample_type
so the raw data won't be recorded.
But I've realized that it increased data->dyn_size already. :(
Which means the sample would have garbage at the end.
I need to check if there are other places that made the same
mistake for other sample types.
