Although it would be nice to have, the current kernel sampling
buffer layout + perf would not be able to parse the RECORD_SAMPLE
if you were to sample different things for different events:

perf record -e
cpu/event=0xc0,umask=1:branch_type=any/,cpu/event=0x3c,umask=0x1/

Perf report/annotate would not be able to distinguish a RECORD_SAMPLE
generated by the first or the second event. That's because the RECORD_SAMPLE
fixed header does not contain enough info to determine which event caused the
record to be generated. You need to event ID to decode the sample. The event ID
gives you the attr struct which gives you the attr->sample_type which drives the
layout of the RECORD_SAMPLE variable size body. The event ID is currently
saved "somewhere" in the variable-size body of the sample. You have a chicken
and egg problem here.

Next week, I will post a patch to extend the existing format to support sampling
on multiple events with different sample_type bitmasks.
