perf dwarf-aux: Check pointer offset when checking variables
In match_var_offset(), it checks the offset range with the target type only for non-pointer types. But it also needs to check the pointer types with the target type. This is because there can be more than one pointer variable located in the same register. Let's look at the following example. It's looking up a variable for reg3 at tcp_get_info+0x62. It found "sk" variable but it wasn't the right one since it accesses beyond the target type (struct 'sock' in this case) size. ----------------------------------------------------------- find data type for 0x7bc(reg3) at tcp_get_info+0x62 CU for net/ipv4/tcp.c (die:0x7b5f516) frame base: cfa=0 fbreg=6 offset: 1980 is bigger than size: 760 check variable "sk" failed (die: 0x7b92b2c) variable location: reg3 type='struct sock' size=0x2f8 (die:0x7b63c3ab) Actually there was another variable "tp" in the function and it's located at the same (reg3) because it's just type-casted like below. void tcp_get_info(struct sock *sk, struct tcp_info *info) { const struct tcp_sock *tp = tcp_sk(sk); ... The 'struct tcp_sock' contains the 'struct sock' at offset 0 so it can just use the same address as a pointer to tcp_sock. That means it should match variables correctly by checking the offset and size. Actually it cannot distinguish if the offset was smaller than the size of the original struct sock. But I think it's fine as they are the same at that part. So let's check the target type size and retry if it doesn't match. Now it succeeded to find the correct variable. ----------------------------------------------------------- find data type for 0x7bc(reg3) at tcp_get_info+0x62 CU for net/ipv4/tcp.c (die:0x7b5f516) frame base: cfa=0 fbreg=6 found "tp" in scope=1/1 (die: 0x7b92b16) type_offset=0x7bc variable location: reg3 type='struct tcp_sock' size=0xa68 (die:0x7b81380) Fixes: bc10db8e ("perf annotate-data: Support stack variables") Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240412183310.2518474-3-namhyung@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
