[PATCH v14 20/32] perf s390-sample-raw: Don't pass evsel or its PMU with sample

From: Ian Rogers

Date: Wed May 20 2026 - 15:17:09 EST


As struct perf_sample now directly contains its own resolved evsel pointer,
passing the evsel separately is redundant and clutters the interface.

Remove the redundant evsel parameter from s390-sample-raw-specific handlers and
structures, ensuring the tool always directly accesses the evsel bound to the
sample. This simplifies the API signatures and eliminates the risk of passing
an inconsistent evsel.
