perf kvm: Fix regression with guest machine creation
Commit 743eb868657bdb1b26c7b24077ca21c67c82c777 reworked when the machines were created. Prior to this commit guest machines could be created in perf_event__process_kernel_mmap() while processing kernel MMAP events. This commit assumes that the machines exist by the time perf_session_deliver_event is called (e.g., during processing of build id events) - which is not always correct. One example is the use of default guest args (--guestkallsyms and --guestmodules) for short times where no samples hit within a guest module. For this case no build id is added to the file header. No build id == no machine created. That leads to the next example -- the use of no-buildid (-B) on the record for all perf-kvm invocations. In both cases perf report dies with a SEGFAULT of the form: (gdb) bt 0 0x000000000046dd7b in machine__mmap_name (self=0x0, bf=0x7fffffffbd20 "q\021", size=4096) at util/map.c:715 1 0x0000000000444161 in perf_event__process_kernel_mmap (tool=0x7fffffffdd80, event=0x7ffff7fb4120, machine=0x0) at util/event.c:562 2 0x0000000000444642 in perf_event__process_mmap (tool=0x7fffffffdd80, event=0x7ffff7fb4120, sample=0x7fffffffd210, machine=0x0) at util/event.c:668 3 0x0000000000470e0b in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x915ca0, event=0x7ffff7fb4120, sample=0x7fffffffd210, tool=0x7fffffffdd80, file_offset=8480) at util/session.c:979 4 0x000000000047032e in flush_sample_queue (s=0x915ca0, tool=0x7fffffffdd80) at util/session.c:679 5 0x0000000000471c8d in __perf_session__process_events (session=0x915ca0, data_offset=400, data_size=150448, file_size=150848, tool= 0x7fffffffdd80) at util/session.c:1363 6 0x0000000000471d42 in perf_session__process_events (self=0x915ca0, tool=0x7fffffffdd80) at util/session.c:1379 7 0x000000000042484a in __cmd_report (rep=0x7fffffffdd80) at builtin-report.c:368 8 0x0000000000425bf1 in cmd_report (argc=0, argv=0x915b00, prefix=0x0) at builtin-report.c:756 9 0x0000000000438505 in __cmd_report (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffe260) at builtin-kvm.c:84 10 0x000000000043882a in cmd_kvm (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffe260, prefix=0x0) at builtin-kvm.c:131 11 0x00000000004152cd in run_builtin (p=0x7a54e8, argc=9, argv=0x7fffffffe260) at perf.c:273 12 0x00000000004154c7 in handle_internal_command (argc=9, argv=0x7fffffffe260) at perf.c:345 13 0x0000000000415613 in run_argv (argcp=0x7fffffffe14c, argv=0x7fffffffe140) at perf.c:389 14 0x0000000000415899 in main (argc=9, argv=0x7fffffffe260) at perf.c:487 Fix by allowing the machine to be created in perf_session_deliver_event. Tested with --guestmount option and default guest args, with and without -B arg on record for both and for short (10 seconds) and long (10 minutes) windows.
