[PATCH 1/1] perf tools: Deal with kernel module names in '[]' correctly

From: Wang Nan
Date: Wed Jun 03 2015 - 04:52:21 EST


Before patch ba92732e9808 ('perf kmaps: Check kmaps to make code more
robust'), 'perf report' and 'perf annotate' will segfault if trace data
contains kernel module information like this:

# perf report -D -i ./perf.data
...
0 0 0x188 [0x50]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffbff1018000(0xf068000) @ 0]: x [test_module]
...

# perf report -i ./perf.data --objdump=/path/to/objdump --kallsyms=/path/to/kallsyms

perf: Segmentation fault

/lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x7fb201f23bd4]
/path/to/perf[0x42dfc4]

This is because __kmod_path__parse treats '[' leading names as kernel
name instead of names of kernel module.

If perf.data contains build information and the buildid of such modules
can be found, the dso->kernel of it will be set to DSO_TYPE_KERNEL by
__event_process_build_id(), not kernel module.

It will then be passed to dso__load() -> dso__load_kernel_sym() ->
dso__load_kcore() if --kallsyms is provided.

The refered patch adds NULL pointer checker to avoid segfault. However,
such kernel modules are still processed incorrectly.

This patch fixes __kmod_path__parse, makes it treat names like
'[test_module]' as kernel modules.

kmod-path.c is also update to reflect the above changes.
