At some point in the past we needed to make sure we would get the long
name of modules and not just what we get from /proc/modules, but that
need, as described in the cset that introduced the adjustment function:
Fixes: c03d5184f0 ("perf machine: Adjust dso->long_name for offline module")
Without using the buildid-cache:
# lsmod | grep trusted
# insmod trusted.ko
# lsmod | grep trusted
trusted 24576 0
# strace -e open,openat perf probe -m ./trusted.ko key_seal |& grep trusted

No attempt at opening '[trusted]'.
Now using the build-id cache:

# perf buildid-cache --add ./trusted.ko
# insmod trusted.ko
# strace -e open,openat perf probe -m ./trusted.ko key_seal |& grep trusted

#
Again, no attempt at reading '[trusted]'.
Finally, adding a probe to that function and then using:
[root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e probe_perf:*/max-stack=16/ --max-events=2
0.000 perf/13456 probe_perf:dso__adjust_kmod_long_name(__probe_ip: 5492263)

#
This was the only path I could find using the perf tools that reach at this
function, then as of november/2019, if we put a probe in the line where the
actuall setting of the dso->long_name is done:
# perf trace -e probe_perf:*

#
Its not being used at all.
To further test this I used kvm.ko as the offline module, i.e. removed
if from the buildid-cache by nuking it completely (rm -rf ~/.debug) and
moved it from the normal kernel distro path, removed the modules, stoped
the kvm guest, and then installed it manually, etc.

The filename doesn't come with the path, no point in trying to set the dso->long_name.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
