[PATCH] bpf: fix sample_flags for bpf_perf_event_output

From: Sumanth Korikkar
Date: Fri Oct 07 2022 - 04:14:20 EST


* Raw data is also filled by bpf_perf_event_output.
* Add sample_flags to indicate raw data.
* This eliminates the segfaults as shown below:
Run ./samples/bpf/trace_output
BUG pid 9 cookie 1001000000004 sized 4
BUG pid 9 cookie 1001000000004 sized 4
BUG pid 9 cookie 1001000000004 sized 4
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Fixes: 838d9bb62d13 ("perf: Use sample_flags for raw_data")
