perf report: Use properly build_id kernel binaries
If we bring the recorded perf data together with kernel binary from another machine using: on server A: perf archive on server B: tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug the build_id kernel dso is not properly recognized during the "perf report" command on server B. The reason is, that build_id dsos are added during the session initialization, while the kernel maps are created during the sample event processing. The machine__create_kernel_maps functions ends up creating new dso object for kernel, but it does not check if we already have one added by build_id processing. Also the build_id reading ABI quirk added in commit: - commit b25114817a73bbd2b84ce9dba02ee1ef8989a947 perf build-id: Add quirk to deal with perf.data file format breakage populates the "struct build_id_event::pid" with 0, which is later interpreted as DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID. This is not always correct, so it's better to guess the pid value based on the "struct build_id_event::header::misc" value. - Tested with data generated on x86 kernel version v2.6.34 and reported back on x86_64 current kernel. - Not tested for guest kernel case. Note the problem stays for PERF_RECORD_MMAP events recorded by perf that does not use proper pid (HOST_KERNEL_ID/DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID). They are misinterpreted within the current perf code. Probably there's not much we can do about that.
