[PATCH 22/22] perf probe: Fix module probing with shortname

[Wang Nan]

After commit 3d39ac538629e4f00a6e1c38d46346f1b8e69505 ("perf machine:
No need to have two DSOs lists"), perf probe with module short name doesn't
work again. For example:

 # lsmod | grep e1000e
 e1000e                233472  0

 # cat /proc/modules | grep e1000e
 e1000e 233472 0 - Live 0xffffffffa0073000

 # cat /proc/kallsyms | grep '\<e1000e_up\>'
 ffffffffa0093860 t e1000e_up[e1000e]

 # perf probe -v -m e1000e --add e1000e_up
 probe-definition(0): e1000e_up
 symbol:e1000e_up file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
 0 arguments
 Failed to find module e1000e.
 Could not open debuginfo. Try to use symbols.
 Looking at the vmlinux_path (7 entries long)
 Using /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc7+/build/vmlinux for symbols
 e1000e_up is out of .text, skip it.
   Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)

This is caused by a misunderstood of dso->kernel in kernel_get_module_dso()
that, for kernel module, dso->kernel is DSO_TYPE_USER. dso->kernel is DSO_TYPE_KERNEL
iff dso is vmlinux.

This patch fix 'perf probe -m' with an ad-hoc way.

After this patch:

 # perf probe -v -m e1000e --add e1000e_up
 probe-definition(0): e1000e_up
 symbol:e1000e_up file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
 0 arguments
 Open Debuginfo file: /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc7+/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko
 Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
 Matched function: e1000e_up
 Probe point found: e1000e_up+0
 Found 1 probe_trace_events.
 Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//kprobe_events write=1
 Writing event: p:probe/e1000e_up e1000e:e1000e_up+0
 Added new event:
   probe:e1000e_up      (on e1000e_up in e1000e)

 You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

 	perf record -e probe:e1000e_up -aR sleep 1

 # perf probe -l
 Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffa0093860
   probe:e1000e_up      (on e1000e_up in e1000e)
