The die_find_variable_by_addr() is to find a variables in the given DIE
using given (PC-relative) address. Global variables will have a
location expression with DW_OP_addr which has an address so can simply
compare it with the address.
<1><143a7>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_variable)
<143a8> DW_AT_name : loops_per_jiffy
<143ac> DW_AT_type : <0x1cca>
<143b0> DW_AT_external : 1
<143b0> DW_AT_decl_file : 193
<143b1> DW_AT_decl_line : 213
<143b2> DW_AT_location : 9 byte block: 3 b0 46 41 82 ff ff ff ff
(DW_OP_addr: ffffffff824146b0)
Note that the type-offset should be calculated from the base address of
the global variable.

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.
