[PATCH v3 3/5] perf record off-cpu: processing of embedded sample
From: Howard Chu
Date: Fri Jul 26 2024 - 06:29:35 EST
In the first evsel__parse_sample, we parse bpf output as raw samples.
After getting the raw_data, parse it the second time to get the embedded
samples.
Also, because we rely on evlist to dump direct off-cpu samples, if we
evsel__open() a bpf output event on a specific pid, it will fail. So pid = -1 for
every bpf output event.
