commit f068435d9bb2d825d59e3c101bc579f09315ee01 upstream.

At some point in the past we needed to make sure we would get the long
name of modules and not just what we get from /proc/modules, but that
need, as described in the cset that introduced the adjustment function:

Fixes: c03d5184f0e9 ("perf machine: Adjust dso-&gt;long_name for offline module")

Without using the buildid-cache:

  # lsmod | grep trusted
  # insmod trusted.ko
  # lsmod | grep trusted
  trusted                24576  0
  # strace -e open,openat perf probe -m ./trusted.ko key_seal |&amp; grep trusted
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/module/trusted/notes/.note.gnu.build-id", O_RDONLY) = 4
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/module/trusted/notes/.note.gnu.build-id", O_RDONLY) = 7
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/.debug/root/trusted.ko/dd3d355d567394d540f527e093e0f64b95879584/probes", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0644) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/debug/root/trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/debug/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/.debug/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, ".debug/trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

    probe:key_seal       (on key_seal in trusted)
  # perf probe -l
    probe:key_seal       (on key_seal in trusted)
  #

No attempt at opening '[trusted]'.

Now using the build-id cache:

  # rmmod trusted
  # perf buildid-cache --add ./trusted.ko
  # insmod trusted.ko
  # strace -e open,openat perf probe -m ./trusted.ko key_seal |&amp; grep trusted

  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/.debug/root/trusted.ko/dd3d355d567394d540f527e093e0f64b95879584/probes", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0644) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/debug/root/trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/debug/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/.debug/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

  openat(AT_FDCWD, ".debug/trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "trusted.ko.debug", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 4
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/trusted.ko", O_RDONLY) = 3
  #

Again, no attempt at reading '[trusted]'.

Finally, adding a probe to that function and then using:

This was the only path I could find using the perf tools that reach at this
function, then as of november/2019, if we put a probe in the line where the
actuall setting of the dso-&gt;long_name is done:

Its not being used at all.

To further test this I used kvm.ko as the offline module, i.e. removed
if from the buildid-cache by nuking it completely (rm -rf ~/.debug) and
moved it from the normal kernel distro path, removed the modules, stoped
the kvm guest, and then installed it manually, etc.

The filename doesn't come with the path, no point in trying to set the dso-&gt;long_name.

actuall setting of the dso-&gt;long_name is done:

Its not being used at all.

To further test this I used kvm.ko as the offline module, i.e. removed
if from the buildid-cache by nuking it completely (rm -rf ~/.debug) and
moved it from the normal kernel distro path, removed the modules, stoped
the kvm guest, and then installed it manually, etc.

The filename doesn't come with the path, no point in trying to set the dso-&gt;long_name.

<title>libperf: Move 'page_size' global variable to libperf</title>

<content type='text'>
We need the 'page_size' variable in libperf, so move it there.

Add a libperf_init() as a global libperf init function to obtain this
value via sysconf() at tool start.

Committer notes:

Add internal/lib.h to tools/perf/ files using 'page_size', sometimes
replacing util.h with it if that was the only reason for having util.h
included.

For better grouping, in time we may end up making most of these static,
i.e. generalizing the 'perf record' synthesizing code so that based on
the target it can do the right thing and call the needed synthesizers.

Those are the only routines using the perf_event__handler_t typedef and
are all related, so move to a separate header to reduce the header
dependency tree, lots of places were getting event.h and even stdio.h,
limits.h indirectly, so fix those as well.

The mem_info struct goes to mem-events.h and branch_info goes to
branch.h, where they belong, this way we can remove several headers from
symbols.h and trim the include dependency tree more.

The mem_info struct goes to mem-events.h and branch_info goes to
branch.h, where they belong, this way we can remove several headers from
symbols.h and trim the include dependency tree more.

So that we don't carry the session.h include directive in auxtrace.h,
which in turn opens a can of worms of files that were getting all sorts
of things via that include, fix them all.

So that we can reduce the header dependency tree further, in the process
noticed that lots of places were getting even things like build-id
routines and 'struct perf_tool' definition indirectly, so fix all those
too.

All we need there is a forward declaration for 'union perf_event', so
remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using
things from this indirect include.

nr_cpus, the number of CPUs online during a record session bound by
MAX_NR_CPUS, can be used as a dynamic alternative for MAX_NR_CPUS in
__machine__synthesize_threads and machine__set_current_tid.
