The perf sample data can be divided into parts. The event->header_size and event->id_header_size keep the static part of the sample data which is determined by the sample_type flags. But other parts like CALLCHAIN and BRANCH_STACK are changing dynamically so it needs to see the actual data. In preparation of handling repeated calls for perf_prepare_sample(), it can save the dynamic size to the perf sample data to avoid the duplicate work.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
