Subject: [PATCH dwarves v3 2/9] dwarf_loader: Handle signatures with dead arguments
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 12:09:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320190927.1970829-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320190917.1970524-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

For llvm dwarf, the dead argument may be in the middle of
DW_TAG_subprogram. So we introduce skip_idx in order to
match expected registers properly.

For example:
  0x00042897:   DW_TAG_subprogram
                  DW_AT_name      ("create_dev")
                  DW_AT_calling_convention        (DW_CC_nocall)
                  DW_AT_type      (0x0002429a "int")
                  ...

  0x000428ab:     DW_TAG_formal_parameter
                    DW_AT_name    ("name")
                    DW_AT_type    (0x000242ed "char *")
                    ...

  0x000428b5:     DW_TAG_formal_parameter
                    DW_AT_location        (indexed (0x3f) loclist = 0x000027f8:
                       [0xffffffff87681370, 0xffffffff8768137a): DW_OP_reg5 RDI
                       [0xffffffff8768137a, 0xffffffff87681392): DW_OP_reg3 RBX
                       [0xffffffff87681392, 0xffffffff876813ae): DW_OP_entry_value(DW_OP_reg5 RDI), DW_OP_stack_value)
                    DW_AT_name    ("dev")
                    DW_AT_type    (0x00026859 "dev_t")
                    ...

With skip_idx, we can identify that the second original argument
'dev' becomes the first one after optimization.
