When perf processes build-id event, it creates DSOs with the build-id.
But it didn't set the module short name (like '[module-name]') so when
processing a kernel mmap event of the module, it cannot found the DSO as
it only checks the short names.
That leads for perf to create a same DSO without the build-id info and
it'll lookup the system path even if the DSO is already in the build-id
cache. After kernel was updated, perf cannot find the DSO and cannot
show symbols in it anymore.
You can see this if you have an old data file (w/ old kernel version):
$ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |& grep scsi_mod
build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz : cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1
Failed to open /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz, continuing without symbols
...
The second message didn't show the build-id. With this patch:
$ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |& grep scsi_mod
build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz: cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1

...
Now it shows the build-id but still cannot load the symbol table. This
is a different problem which will be fixed in the next patch.

As it is going away from util.h, where it is not needed.
This is mostly for things like MAXPATHLEN, MAX() and MIN(), these later
two probably should go away in favor of its kernel sources replacements.

There are 2 problems wrt. cpu_topology_map on systems with sparse CPUs:
1. offline/absent CPUs will have their socket_id and core_id set to -1
which triggers:
"socket_id number is too big.You may need to upgrade the perf tool."
2. size of cpu_topology_map (perf_env.cpu[]) is allocated based on
_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF, but can be indexed with CPU ids going above.
Users of perf_env.cpu[] are using CPU id as index. This can lead
to read beyond what was allocated:
==19991== Invalid read of size 4
==19991== at 0x490CEB: check_cpu_topology (topology.c:69)
==19991== by 0x490CEB: test_session_topology (topology.c:106)
...
For example:
_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF == 16
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 6 8 10 16 22 24 26
node 0 size: 12004 MB
node 0 free: 9470 MB
node 1 cpus: 1 7 9 11 23 25 27
node 1 size: 12093 MB
node 1 free: 9406 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 20
1: 20 10
This patch changes HEADER_NRCPUS.nr_cpus_available from _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF
to max_present_cpu and updates any user of cpu_topology_map to iterate
with nr_cpus_avail.
As a consequence HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY core_id and socket_id lists get longer,
but maintain compatibility with pre-patch state - index to cpu_topology_map is
CPU id.

When build_cpu_topo() encounters offline/absent CPUs, it fails to find any
sysfs entries and returns failure.
This leads to build_cpu_topology() and write_cpu_topology() failing as
well.
Because HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY has not been written, read leaves cpu_topology_map

In commit daeecbc0c4 ("perf tools: Add event_update event scale type"), the
handling of PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE cast struct event_update_event->data to a
pointer to event_update_event_scale, uses some field from this casted struct
and then ends up falling through to the handling of another event type,
PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS were it casts that ev->data to yet another type, oops,
fix it by inserting the missing break.
Noticed when building perf using gcc 7 on Fedora Rawhide:
util/header.c: In function 'perf_event__process_event_update':
util/header.c:3207:16: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]
evsel->scale = ev_scale->scale;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
util/header.c:3208:2: note: here
case PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS:
^~~~
This wasn't noticed because probably PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS comes after
PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE, so we would just create a bogus evsel->own_cpus when
processing a PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE to then leak it and create a new cpu map
with the correct data.

The use_browser and perf_version_string variables are both declared in
perf.c but they are also referenced by other functions of libperf.a.
Therefore a user linking an own main() with libperf.a must declare those
two variables in their files even if the files never use the browser or
the version information.
This patch fixes this issue by moving use_browser and
perf_version_string out of perf.c to some other files.

The topology test case of 'perf test' seems to be broken on my x86
system - due to the comparison of a "core-id" with # of CPUs online.
There are 8 online CPUs:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
0-7
but core-ids are not sequential and some core-ids exceed the number
of online CPUs.
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/core_id
0

Looks like we can safely remove the check. Output before:

The 'struct machine' represents the machine where the samples were/are
being collected, and we also have a 'struct perf_env' with extra details
about such machine, that we were collecting at 'perf.data' creation time
but we also needed when no perf.data file is being used, such as in
'perf top'.
So, get those structs closer together, as they provide a bigger picture
of the sample's environment.
In 'perf session', when the file argument is NULL, we can assume that
the tool is sampling the running machine, so point machine->env to
the global put in place in previous patches, while set it to the
perf_header.env one when reading from a file.
This paves the way for machine->env to be used in
perf_event__preprocess_sample to populate addr_location.socket.

This patch stores the cpu socket_id and core_id in a perf.data header,
and reads them into the perf_env struct when processing perf.data files.
The changes modifies the CPU_TOPOLOGY section, making sure it is
backward/forward compatible.
The patch checks the section size before reading the core and socket ids.
It never reads data crossing the section boundary. An old perf binary
without this patch can also correctly read the perf.data from a new perf
with this patch.
Because the new info is added at the end of the cpu_topology section, an
old perf tool ignores the extra data.
Examples:
1. New perf with this patch read perf.data from an old perf without the
patch:
$ perf_new report -i perf_old.data --header-only -I
......
# sibling threads : 33
# sibling threads : 34
# sibling threads : 35
# Core ID and Socket ID information is not available
# node0 meminfo : total = 32823872 kB, free = 29315548 kB
# node0 cpu list : 0-17,36-53
......
2. Old perf without the patch reads perf.data from a new perf with the
patch:
$ perf_old report -i perf_new.data --header-only -I
......
# sibling threads : 33
# sibling threads : 34
# sibling threads : 35
# node0 meminfo : total = 32823872 kB, free = 29190932 kB
# node0 cpu list : 0-17,36-53
......
3. New perf read new perf.data:
$ perf_new report -i perf_new.data --header-only -I
......
# sibling threads : 33
# sibling threads : 34
# sibling threads : 35
# CPU 0: Core ID 0, Socket ID 0
# CPU 1: Core ID 1, Socket ID 0

This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes:
there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may
get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so'
DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still
don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may
get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or
other resources.
So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory
usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is
sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting
the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it,
which will leave only referenced objects being used.

This is because __kmod_path__parse treats '[' leading names as kernel
name instead of names of kernel module.
If perf.data contains build information and the buildid of such modules
can be found, the dso->kernel of it will be set to DSO_TYPE_KERNEL by
__event_process_build_id(), not kernel module.
It will then be passed to dso__load() -> dso__load_kernel_sym() ->
dso__load_kcore() if --kallsyms is provided.
The refered patch adds NULL pointer checker to avoid segfault. However,
such kernel modules are still processed incorrectly.
This patch fixes __kmod_path__parse, makes it treat names like
'[test_module]' as kernel modules.
kmod-path.c is also update to reflect the above changes.
