Patch "perf header: Set proper module name when build-id event found" has been added to the 4.4-stable tree

by gregkh＠linuxfoundation.org

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf header: Set proper module name when build-id event found to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=sum… The filename of the patch is: perf-header-set-proper-module-name-when-build-id-event-found.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From foo@baz Tue Apr 10 10:31:53 CEST 2018 From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung(a)kernel.org> Date: Wed, 31 May 2017 21:01:03 +0900 Subject: perf header: Set proper module name when build-id event found From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung(a)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.
