The decompress_kmodule() decompresses kernel modules in order to load
symbols from it. In the DSO_BINARY_TYPE__BUILD_ID_CACHE case, it needs
the full file path to extract the file extension to determine the
decompression method. But overwriting 'name' will fail the
decompression since it might point to a non-existing old file.
Instead, use dso->long_name for having the correct extension and use the
real filename to decompress.
In the DSO_BINARY_TYPE__SYSTEM_PATH_KMODULE_COMP case, both names should
be the same. This allows resolving symbols in the old modules.
Before:
$ perf report -i perf.data.old | grep scsi_mod
0.00% cc1 [scsi_mod] [k] 0x0000000000004aa6
0.00% as [scsi_mod] [k] 0x00000000000099e1
0.00% cc1 [scsi_mod] [k] 0x0000000000009830
0.00% cc1 [scsi_mod] [k] 0x0000000000001b8f
After:
0.00% cc1 [scsi_mod] [k] scsi_handle_queue_ramp_up
0.00% as [scsi_mod] [k] scsi_sg_alloc
0.00% cc1 [scsi_mod] [k] scsi_setup_cmnd
0.00% cc1 [scsi_mod] [k] scsi_get_command
