Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 200/281] perf header: Set proper module name when build-id event found
Date
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 1deec1bd96ccd8beb04d2112a6d12fe20505c3a6 ]

When perf processes build-id event, it creates DSOs with the build-id.
But it didn't set the module short name (like '[module-name]') so when
processing a kernel mmap event of the module, it cannot found the DSO as
it only checks the short names.

That leads for perf to create a same DSO without the build-id info and
it'll lookup the system path even if the DSO is already in the build-id
cache. After kernel was updated, perf cannot find the DSO and cannot
show symbols in it anymore.

You can see this if you have an old data file (w/ old kernel version):

$ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |& grep scsi_mod
build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz : cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1
Failed to open /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz, continuing without symbols
...

The second message didn't show the build-id. With this patch:

$ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |& grep scsi_mod
build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz: cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1
/lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz with build id cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1 not found, continuing without symbols
...

Now it shows the build-id but still cannot load the symbol table. This
is a different problem which will be fixed in the next patch.
