[PATCH 1/4] perf report: Do not extend sample type of bpf-output event

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Fri May 06 2022 - 16:16:41 EST


Currently evsel__new_idx() sets more sample_type bits when it finds a
BPF-output event. But it should honor what's recorded in the perf
data file rather than blindly sets the bits. Otherwise it could lead
to a parse error when it recorded with a modified sample_type.
