The find_data_type() is to get a data type from the memory access at the
given address (IP) using a register and an offset.
It requires DWARF debug info in the DSO and searches the list of
variables and function parameters in the scope.
In a pseudo code, it does basically the following:
find_data_type(dso, ip, reg, offset)
{
pc = map__rip_2objdump(ip);
CU = dwarf_addrdie(dso->dwarf, pc);
scopes = die_get_scopes(CU, pc);
for_each_scope(S, scopes) {
V = die_find_variable_by_reg(S, pc, reg);
if (V && V.type == pointer_type) {
T = die_get_real_type(V);
if (offset < T.size)
return T;
}
}
return NULL;
}
Committer notes:
The 'size' variable in check_variable() is 64-bit, so use PRIu64 and
inttypes.h to debug it.
Ditto at find_data_type_die().

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.
