Borislav, can you take a look at:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/acme/linux-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/perf/core

More specifically take a look at the function test__basic_mmap in:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/acme/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=tools/perf/builtin-test.c;h=f03798a298b00b328a11f06ce20cc352d123ec28;hb=refs/heads/perf/core

434 /*
435  * This test will generate random numbers of calls to some getpid syscalls,
436  * then establish an mmap for a group of events that are created to monitor
437  * the syscalls.
438  *
439  * It will receive the events, using mmap, use its PERF_SAMPLE_ID generated
440  * sample.id field to map back to its respective perf_evsel instance.
441  *
442  * Then it checks if the number of syscalls reported as perf events by
443  * the kernel corresponds to the number of syscalls made.
444  */

I'll read the rest of your patchset to see if there are more things like
this.
