Subject: [PATCH] perf buildid: Fix cpumode of buildid event
There is a nasty confusion that, for kernel module, dso->kernel
is not necessary to be DSO_TYPE_KERNEL or DSO_TYPE_GUEST_KERNEL.
These two enums are for vmlinux. See thread [1]. We tried to fix
this part but it is costy.
Code machine__write_buildid_table() is another unfortunate function
fall into this trap that, when issuing buildid event for a kernel
module, cpumode it gives to the event is PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER, not
PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL.
However, even with this bug, most of the time it doesn't causes real
problem. I find this issue when trying to use a perf before commit
3d39ac538629 ("perf machine: No need to have two DSOs lists") to parse
a perf.data generated by newest perf.
