perf header: Set proper module name when build-id event found
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.
