[ Upstream commit 79bcd34e0f3da39fda841406ccc957405e724852 ]
The processing of leader samples would turn an individual sample with a group of read values into multiple samples. 'perf inject' would pass through the additional samples increasing the output data file size:
$ perf record -g -e "{instructions,cycles}:S" -o perf.orig.data true $ perf script -D -i perf.orig.data | sed -e 's/perf.orig.data/perf.data/g' > orig.txt $ perf inject -i perf.orig.data -o perf.new.data $ perf script -D -i perf.new.data | sed -e 's/perf.new.data/perf.data/g' > new.txt $ diff -u orig.txt new.txt --- orig.txt 2024-07-29 14:29:40.606576769 -0700 +++ new.txt 2024-07-29 14:30:04.142737434 -0700 ... -0xc550@perf.data [0x30]: event: 3 +0xc550@perf.data [0xd0]: event: 9 +. +. ... raw event: size 208 bytes +. 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 d0 00 fc 72 01 86 ff ff ff ff .........r...... +. 0010: 74 7d 2c 00 74 7d 2c 00 fb c3 79 f9 ba d5 05 00 t},.t},...y..... +. 0020: e6 cb 1a 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ +. 0030: 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 76 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........v....... +. 0040: e6 cb 1a 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ +. 0050: 62 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 f6 cb 1a 00 00 00 00 00 b............... +. 0060: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ +. 0070: 80 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff fc 72 01 86 ff ff ff ff .........r...... +. 0080: f3 0e 6e 85 ff ff ff ff 0c cb 7f 85 ff ff ff ff ..n............. +. 0090: bc f2 87 85 ff ff ff ff 44 af 7f 85 ff ff ff ff ........D....... +. 00a0: bd be 7f 85 ff ff ff ff 26 d0 7f 85 ff ff ff ff ........&....... +. 00b0: 6d a4 ff 85 ff ff ff ff ea 00 20 86 ff ff ff ff m......... ..... +. 00c0: 00 fe ff ff ff ff ff ff 57 14 4f 43 fc 7e 00 00 ........W.OC.~.. + +1642373909693435 0xc550 [0xd0]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x1): 2915700/2915700: 0xffffffff860172fc period: 1 addr: 0 +...

This behavior is incorrect as in the case above 'perf inject' should have done nothing. Fix this behavior by disabling separating samples for a tool that requests it. Only request this for `perf inject` so as to not affect other perf tools. With the patch and the test above there are no differences between the orig.txt and new.txt.
