Well, away from a Broadwell machine now, applied a few patches more and

Ok, so it synthesized the branches:u, that don't appear on the 'perf evlist'
output, that is the command I use to see what kinds of events are contained
in a given perf.data file, probably we should add a note there that
branches:u will be synthesized at 'report' time, trying with 'perf script':
[root@zoo ~]# perf script | head -10
:8676 8676 1 branches:u: ffffffff81799b47 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 7f8e86e8bcf0 [unknown] ([unknown])
:8676 8676 1 branches:u: ffffffff81799b47 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 7f8e86e8bcf0 [unknown] ([unknown])

:8676 8676 1 branches:u: ffffffff81799b47 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 7f8e86e8f9a6 [unknown] ([unknown])

:8676 8676 1 branches:u: 7f8e86e8fc20 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 7f8e86e8fc40 [unknown] ([unknown])
The synthesized records looks sane:

[root@zoo ~]#
One of those samples
>>> (0x7f8e86e8fa3f - 0x7f8e86ace000) < 0x3bd000
False
After the libc-2.20.so map
>>> (0x7f8e86e8fa3f - 0x7f8e86e8b000) < 0x224000
True
Ok, so a /usr/lib64/ld-2.20.so sample, and:
[root@zoo ~]# rpm -q glibc-debuginfo
glibc-debuginfo-2.20-8.fc21.x86_64
But then, it didn't even resolve the DSO, which it should, as I did manually :-/
Will continue investigating... Perhaps this is fixed in another patch? What I
have test merged so far is at my tmp.perf/pt branch.
I will still update the cset comments and possibly do some other changes to
preserve bisectability or some other fix so that we get more test output
inserted in the changesets.
