I think it would be better named as 'perf_session_env' i.e. the
environment (machine (name), hardware(nr_cpus, total_mem, etc) and
OS(release, version) details) where a 'perf' 'session' took place.

perf 'header info' look more like 'what is the version in the header?
what about its endianity, and other 'header' details :-)
