In order to parse a sample correctly based on the information requested via sample_type, the kernel needs to save each component in a known order. There is no type value saved with each component. The current convention is that each component is saved according to the order in enum perf_event_sample_format. But perf_output_sample() was not completely following this convention, thereby making samples impossible to parse without internal kernel knowledge.
This patch puts things in the right order.
