Still doesn't handle its sub hierarchy, i.e. the DW_TAG_variant entries
and its underlying DW_TAG_member entries.
This was noticed when running the regression test that uses a debug
build of perf to process a perf.data file and test pahole's pretty
printing features, as now perf has a synthetic workload that is written
in rust:
<0><20c95a>: Abbrev Number: 1 (DW_TAG_compile_unit)
<20c95b> DW_AT_producer : (indirect string, offset: 0x4ee5a): clang LLVM (rustc version 1.93.1 (01f6ddf75 2026-02-11) (Fedora 1.93.1-1.fc43))
<20c95f> DW_AT_language : 28 (Rust)
<20c961> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x4eeaa): tests/workloads/code_with_type.rs/@/code_with_type.d6e680867bfb8b27-cgu.0

<20c969> DW_AT_comp_dir : (indirect string, offset: 0x487f1): /home/acme/git/perf-tools/tools/perf
<20c96d> DW_AT_low_pc : 0
<20c975> DW_AT_ranges : 0x2d0
⬢ [acme@toolbx pahole]$
So lets add some scaffolding for the Rust DWARF constructs involved for
us to be able to continue using perf with DWARF to test the pretty
printing features.

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
The Linux perf tool now includes some Rust code that then gets linked
into perf and comes with its DWARF that has tags referencing tags in
different CUs, and as the current DWARF loading algorithm uses
parallelization and recodes the big DWARF types (DWARF_off, usually
64-bit) into smaller ones as a step into converting to CTF (initially)
and later BTF, the resolution fails.
There is a case where this inter CU happens, LTO builds, and so there is
an alternative algorithm for that case, that serializes DWARF CU loading
and merges all the CUs into just one meta/mega-CU, which then has all
the types and thus doesn't have a problem with inter CU references, as
the recoding into smaller ids is done only after all CUs are loaded.
So while we don't refactor the loading in a way that allows for inter CU
while allowing parallelization, maybe by doing the recoding just at the
end of parallel loading, add minimal code to force this CU merging for
experimentation in such cases, getting back the regression test
prettify_perf.data.sh to work, making it force CU merging.
$ pahole ~/bin/perf > unmerged.txt
<Suppress lots of warnings when recoding DWARF types.>
$ pahole --features=force_cu_merging ~/bin/perf > merged.txt
$
With the current set of Rust types that are representable with the
pahole data structures and then pretty printed as if they were C we see
12 differences:
$ diff -u unmerged.txt merged.txt | grep ^@@ | wc -l
12
$ diff -u unmerged.txt merged.txt | wc -l
198
Of this kind, due to some types not being resolved as tags are
referencing tags in other CUs.
$ diff -u unmerged.txt merged.txt | head

Now the pretty printing perf.data test case passes:
⬢ [acme@toolbx tests]$ ./prettify_perf.data.sh
Pretty printing of files using DWARF type information.
Test ./prettify_perf.data.sh passed
⬢ [acme@toolbx tests]$
This was implemented reusing the --btf_features mechanism that now can
be accessed as well via --features, as this is not strictly a BTF
feature but, as Alan Maguire suggested, it is desirable to ask for that
feature to be enabled when we know it is needed bug can't guarantee that
the available pahole version has the feature and not have it fail
because it doesn't implement --force_cu_merging, which the
--btf_features=force_cu_merging, now also avaialbe as
--features=force_cu_merging, allows as it ignores unknown features.

Print the actual unexpected child tag's name and id instead of the
parent enumeration's, so the diagnostic message is useful for debugging.

types, removing the enumerator-specific wrapper.
