[PATCH 43/48] perf annotate-data: Implement instruction tracking

[Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>]

If it failed to find a variable for the location directly, it might be
due to a missing variable in the source code.  For example, accessing
pointer variables in a chain can result in the case like below:

  struct foo *foo = ...;

  int i = foo->bar->baz;

The DWARF debug information is created for each variable so it'd have
one for 'foo'.  But there's no variable for 'foo->bar' and then it
cannot know the type of 'bar' and 'baz'.

The above source code can be compiled to the follow x86 instructions:

  mov  0x8(%rax), %rcx
  mov  0x4(%rcx), %rdx   <=== PMU sample
  mov  %rdx, -4(%rbp)

Let's say 'foo' is located in the %rax and it has a pointer to struct
foo.  But perf sample is captured in the second instruction and there
is no variable or type info for the %rcx.

It'd be great if compiler could generate debug info for %rcx, but we
should handle it on our side.  So this patch implements the logic to
iterate instructions and update the type table for each location.

As it already collected a list of scopes including the target
instruction, we can use it to construct the type table smartly.

  +----------------  scope[0] subprogram
  |
  | +--------------  scope[1] lexical_block
  | |
  | | +------------  scope[2] inlined_subroutine
  | | |
  | | | +----------  scope[3] inlined_subroutine
  | | | |
  | | | | +--------  scope[4] lexical_block
  | | | | |
  | | | | |     ***  target instruction
  ...

Image the target instruction has 5 scopes, each scope will have its own
variables and parameters.  Then it can start with the innermost scope
(4).  So it'd search the shortest path from the start of scope[4] to
the target address and build a list of basic blocks.  Then it iterates
the basic blocks with the variables in the scope and update the table.
If it finds a type at the target instruction, then returns it.

Otherwise, it moves to the upper scope[3].  Now it'd search the shortest
path from the start of scope[3] to the start of scope[4].  Then connect
it to the existing basic block list.  Then it'd iterate the blocks with
variables for both scopes.  It can repeat this until it finds a type at
the target instruction or reaches to the top scope[0].

As the basic blocks contain the shortest path, it won't worry about
branches and can update the table simply.

With this change, the stat now looks like below:

  Annotate data type stats:
  total 294, ok 185 (62.9%), bad 109 (37.1%)
  -----------------------------------------------------------
          30 : no_sym
          32 : no_mem_ops
          27 : no_var
          13 : no_typeinfo
           7 : bad_offset
