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

From: Vince Weaver
Date: Tue Jan 08 2013 - 14:43:23 EST



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
