The following patch[1] adds a new "cpumode" to the perf_sample
structure that gets initialised as events are read from the data
event file.
With the advent of HW tracers and more specifically the decoding of
the traces they generate, function perf_session__deliver_synth_event()
gets called directly from the infrastructure that decodes the traces,
for example[2].
As such initialisation of perf_sample::cpumode doesn't get done, which
prevents the shared object name from being printed in the perf report
output.

This was tested using CoreSight but the same is very likely to happen on
IntelPT. I'm pretty sure this isn't the right solution but we can start
building from that.
Comments welcomed.

hum, but this one ends up calling perf_session__deliver_synth_event
with sample == NULL right?
I checked callers of perf_session__deliver_synth_event and it seems
all either init sample->cpumode or pass sample as NULL.. what do I miss?

Wrong example - this highlights the problem [1]. Here "sample" is
created from scratch and "->cpumode" isn't initialised. Looking at
things with a rested head this morning it is apparent to me that
adding something like:
sample.cpumode = event->header.misc;
to line 1048 is probably a better solution.
Thanks,
Mathieu
