JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-53366 commit 131717e656b379addb95af2dcb2d90c723bae24b Author: Shivani Nittor <shivani@linux.ibm.com> Date: Tue Apr 21 20:36:28 2026 +0530 powerpc/perf: Update check for PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC marked events The core-book3s PMU sampling code validates the SIER TYPE field when PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC is requested. The SIER TYPE field indicates the instruction type and is only valid for random sampling (marked events). To handle cases observed where SIER TYPE could be zero even for marked events,validation was added to drop such samples and increment event->lost_samples. However, this validation was applied to all samples, including continuous sampling. In continuous sampling mode, the PMU does not set the SIER TYPE field, so it remains zero. As a result, valid continuous samples were incorrectly treated as invalid and dropped. Fixed this by gating the SIER TYPE validation with mark_event, so the check runs only for marked (random) events. Continuous samples now skip this check and are recorded normally in the final data recording path.
