Alexey Budankov bb1835a3b8 perf session: Fix decompression of PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records
Avoid termination of trace loading in case the last record in the
decompressed buffer partly resides in the following mmaped
PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED record.

In this case NULL value returned by fetch_mmaped_event() means to
proceed to the next mmaped record then decompress it and load compressed
events.

The issue can be reproduced like this:

  $ perf record -z -- some_long_running_workload
  $ perf report --stdio -vv
  decomp (B): 44519 to 163000
  decomp (B): 48119 to 174800
  decomp (B): 65527 to 131072
  fetch_mmaped_event: head=0x1ffe0 event->header_size=0x28, mmap_size=0x20000: fuzzed perf.data?
  Error:
  failed to process sample
  ...

Testing:

  71: Zstd perf.data compression/decompression              : Ok

  $ tools/perf/perf report -vv --stdio
  decomp (B): 59593 to 262160
  decomp (B): 4438 to 16512
  decomp (B): 285 to 880
  Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
  Using vmlinux for symbols
  decomp (B): 57474 to 261248
  prefetch_event: head=0x3fc78 event->header_size=0x28, mmap_size=0x3fc80: fuzzed or compressed perf.data?
  decomp (B): 25 to 32
  decomp (B): 52 to 120
  ...

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.
