This makes it easier to extend perf_sample_data and fixes a bug on arm and sparc, which failed to set ->raw to NULL, which can cause crashes when combined with PERF_SAMPLE_RAW. It also optimizes PowerPC and tracepoint, because the struct initialization is forced to zero out the whole structure. CC: Jamie Iles CC: Jean Pihet CC: Paul Mackerras CC: Ingo Molnar CC: David S.
