Revision a09935b878dc8efd4b030ed1ffa0553fc9011fb8 authored by Namhyung Kim on 31 May 2017, 12:01:05 UTC, committed by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo on 05 June 2017, 17:17:59 UTC
The decompress_kmodule() decompresses kernel modules in order to load
symbols from it.  In the DSO_BINARY_TYPE__BUILD_ID_CACHE case, it needs
the full file path to extract the file extension to determine the
decompression method.  But overwriting 'name' will fail the
decompression since it might point to a non-existing old file.

Instead, use dso->long_name for having the correct extension and use the
real filename to decompress.

In the DSO_BINARY_TYPE__SYSTEM_PATH_KMODULE_COMP case, both names should
be the same.  This allows resolving symbols in the old modules.

Before:

  $ perf report -i perf.data.old | grep scsi_mod
     0.00%  cc1      [scsi_mod]    [k] 0x0000000000004aa6
     0.00%  as       [scsi_mod]    [k] 0x00000000000099e1
     0.00%  cc1      [scsi_mod]    [k] 0x0000000000009830
     0.00%  cc1      [scsi_mod]    [k] 0x0000000000001b8f

After:

     0.00%  cc1      [scsi_mod]    [k] scsi_handle_queue_ramp_up
     0.00%  as       [scsi_mod]    [k] scsi_sg_alloc
     0.00%  cc1      [scsi_mod]    [k] scsi_setup_cmnd
     0.00%  cc1      [scsi_mod]    [k] scsi_get_command
