It is just for the sake of more readable patch formatting 
and, yes, could be avoided and replaced by the definition.

Well, it makes sense. whole session object is not required here.
Just session->header.needs_swap could be passed as a param.
Shall we make it like this?

static union perf_event * 
fetch_decomp_event(u64 head, size_t mmap_size, char *buf, bool needs_swap)
