perf annotate-arm64: Support 'add' instruction tracking
Extend update_insn_state_arm64() to track 'add' instructions for structure member address calculation. Unlike x86, the arm64 'add' instruction has an extra base register among its source operands. Therefore, in terms of propagating the data type, it is essentially performing a 'mov', except that before the 'mov', it first needs to be updated by adding the offset or reg2. A real-world example is shown below: ffff80008001c9a8 <flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint>: ffff80008001c9c4: add x19, x0, #0xeb8 // x0 (task_struct*) + 0xeb8 -> x19 * ffff80008001c9d0: ldr x0, [x19] Before this commit, the type flow broke at the 'add' instruction, leaving the subsequent load with no type information: chk [28] reg19 offset=0 ok=0 kind=0 cfa : no type information final result: no type information After this commit, the tracker correctly follows the member address calculation: var [0] reg0 offset 0 type='struct task_struct*' add [1c] address of 0xeb8(reg0) -> reg19 type='struct task_struct*' chk [28] reg19 offset=0 ok=1 kind=1 (struct task_struct*) : Good! found by insn track: 0(reg19) type-offset=0xeb8 final result: type='struct task_struct' Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Tengda Wu <wutengda@huaweicloud.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
