Subject: perf probe: Fix offline module name missmatch issue
Git-commit: 63a29613d7c69f17b6a3266bfc338986698b2546
Patch-mainline: v4.7-rc1
References: bsc#1041074

Perf can add a probe on kernel module which has not been loaded yet.

The current implementation finds the module name from path. But if the
filename is different from the actual module name then perf fails to
register a probe while loading module because of mismatch in the names.

For example, samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko is loaded as
kobject_example.

Before applying patch:

  $ sudo ./perf probe -m /linux/samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko foo_show
    Added new event:
      probe:foo_show       (on foo_show in kobject-example)

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

    perf record -e probe:foo_show -aR sleep 1

  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
    p:probe/foo_show kobject-example:foo_show

  $ insmod kobject-example.ko

  $ lsmod
    Module                  Size  Used by
    kobject_example        16384  0

  Generate read to /sys/kernel/kobject_example/foo while recording data
  with below command
  $ sudo ./perf record -e probe:foo_show -a
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.093 MB perf.data ]

  $./perf report --stdio -F overhead,comm,dso,sym
    Error:
    The perf.data.old file has no samples!

After applying patch:

  $ sudo ./perf probe -m /linux/samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko foo_show
    Added new event:
      probe:foo_show       (on foo_show in kobject_example)

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

    perf record -e probe:foo_show -aR sleep 1

  $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
    p:probe/foo_show kobject_example:foo_show

  $ insmod kobject-example.ko

  $ lsmod
    Module                  Size  Used by
    kobject_example        16384  0

  Generate read to /sys/kernel/kobject_example/foo while recording data
  with below command
  $ sudo ./perf record -e probe:foo_show -a
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.097 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]

  $ sudo ./perf report  --stdio -F overhead,comm,dso,sym
    ...
    # Samples: 8  of event 'probe:foo_show'
    # Event count (approx.): 8
    #

    # ........  .......  .................  ............

       100.00%  cat      [kobject_example]  [k] foo_show
