Subject: [PATCH dwarves 8/9] btf_encoder: Handle optimized parameter properly
Date: Thu,  5 Mar 2026 14:55:36 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305225536.1156659-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260305225455.1151066-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

Ensure to skip optimized parameter so btf can generate
proper true signatures.

In the first patch of the patch set, with DW_CC_nocall filtering, 379 functions
have signature changed but not checked properly. With a series of improvement,
eventually only 17 functions remain and unfortunately these functions cannot
be converted to true signatures due to locations. For example,

0x0242f1f7:   DW_TAG_subprogram
                DW_AT_name      ("memblock_find_in_range")
                DW_AT_calling_convention        (DW_CC_nocall)
                DW_AT_type      (0x0242decc "phys_addr_t")
                ...

0x0242f22e:     DW_TAG_formal_parameter
                  DW_AT_location        (indexed (0x14a) loclist = 0x005595bc:
                     [0xffffffff87a000f9, 0xffffffff87a00178): DW_OP_reg5 RDI
                     [0xffffffff87a00178, 0xffffffff87a001be): DW_OP_reg14 R14
                     [0xffffffff87a001be, 0xffffffff87a001c7): DW_OP_entry_value(DW_OP_reg5 RDI), DW_OP_stack_value
                     [0xffffffff87a001c7, 0xffffffff87a00214): DW_OP_reg14 R14)
                  DW_AT_name    ("start")
                  DW_AT_type    (0x0242decc "phys_addr_t")
                  ...

0x0242f239:     DW_TAG_formal_parameter
                  DW_AT_location        (indexed (0x14b) loclist = 0x005595e6:
                     [0xffffffff87a000f9, 0xffffffff87a00175): DW_OP_reg4 RSI
                     [0xffffffff87a00175, 0xffffffff87a001b8): DW_OP_reg3 RBX
                     [0xffffffff87a001b8, 0xffffffff87a001c7): DW_OP_entry_value(DW_OP_reg4 RSI), DW_OP_stack_value
                     [0xffffffff87a001c7, 0xffffffff87a00214): DW_OP_reg3 RBX)
                  DW_AT_name    ("end")
                  DW_AT_type    (0x0242decc "phys_addr_t")
                  ...

0x0242f245:     DW_TAG_formal_parameter
                  DW_AT_location        (indexed (0x14c) loclist = 0x00559610:
                     [0xffffffff87a001e3, 0xffffffff87a001ef): DW_OP_breg4 RSI+0)
                  DW_AT_name    ("size")
                  DW_AT_type    (0x0242decc "phys_addr_t")
                  ...

0x0242f250:     DW_TAG_formal_parameter
                  DW_AT_const_value     (4096)
                  DW_AT_name    ("align")
                  DW_AT_type    (0x0242decc "phys_addr_t")
                  ...

The third parameter 'size' is not from RDX. Hence, true signature is not possible for this function.
