commit e5f32ad56b22ebe384a6e7ddad6e9520c5495563 upstream.
A non-0 retire latency can be observed on a Raptorlake which doesn't
support the retire latency feature.
By design, the retire latency shares the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT
sample type with other types of latency. That could avoid adding too
many different sample types to support all kinds of latency. For the
machine which doesn't support some kind of latency, 0 should be
returned.
Perf doesn’t clear/init all the fields of a sample data for the sake
of performance. It expects the later perf_{prepare,output}_sample() to
update the uninitialized field. However, the current implementation
doesn't touch the field of the retire latency if the feature is not
supported. The memory garbage is dumped into the perf data.
Clear the retire latency if the feature is not supported.

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 reStructuredText 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.
