The DWARF location expression can be fairly complex and it'd be hard
to match it with the condition correctly. So let's be conservative
and only allow simple expressions. For now it just checks the first
operation in the list. The following operations looks ok:
* DW_OP_stack_value
* DW_OP_deref_size
* DW_OP_deref
* DW_OP_piece
To refuse complex (and unsupported) location expressions, add
check_allowed_ops() to compare the rest of the list. It seems earlier
result contained those unsupported expressions. For example, I found
some local struct variable is placed like below.
<2><43d1517>: Abbrev Number: 62 (DW_TAG_variable)
<43d1518> DW_AT_location : 15 byte block: 91 50 93 8 91 78 93 4 93 84 8 91 68 93 4
(DW_OP_fbreg: -48; DW_OP_piece: 8;
DW_OP_fbreg: -8; DW_OP_piece: 4;
DW_OP_piece: 1028;
DW_OP_fbreg: -24; DW_OP_piece: 4)
Another example is something like this.
0057c8be ffffffffffffffff ffffffff812109f0 (base address)
0057c8ce ffffffff812112b5 ffffffff812112c8 (DW_OP_breg3 (rbx): 0;
DW_OP_constu: 18446744073709551612;
DW_OP_and;
DW_OP_stack_value)
It should refuse them. After the change, the stat shows:
Annotate data type stats:
total 294, ok 158 (53.7%), bad 136 (46.3%)

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.
