[PATCH] perf powerpc-vpadtl: Fix raw_size of DTL samples
From: Wang Yan
Date: Tue Aug 25 2026 - 05:49:06 EST
In powerpc_vpadtl_sample(), raw_data of the synthetic sample points to a
struct powerpc_vpadtl_entry (48 bytes), but raw_size is set to
sizeof(record). record is a struct powerpc_vpadtl_entry pointer, so
sizeof(record) is the size of the pointer (8 bytes on 64-bit) rather
than the size of the record itself.
As a result, consumers that bound their access to raw_data by raw_size
only see or copy the first 8 bytes of each DTL entry instead of the full
record.
Use sizeof(*record) so that raw_size reflects the actual length of the
raw data.
