Subject: [V4 15/16] tools/perf: Add support for global_die to capture name of variable in case of register defined variable
Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2024 22:56:30 +0530

In case of register defined variable (found using
find_data_type_global_reg), if the type of variable happens to be base
type (example, long unsigned int), perf report captures it as:

    12.85%  long unsigned int  long unsigned int +0 (no field)

The above data type is actually referring to samples captured while
accessing "r1" which represents current stack pointer in powerpc.
register void *__stack_pointer asm("r1");

The dwarf debug contains this as:

<<>>
 <1><18dd772>: Abbrev Number: 129 (DW_TAG_variable)
    <18dd774>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x11ba): current_stack_pointer
    <18dd778>   DW_AT_decl_file   : 51
    <18dd779>   DW_AT_decl_line   : 1468
    <18dd77b>   DW_AT_decl_column : 24
    <18dd77c>   DW_AT_type        : <0x18da5cd>
    <18dd780>   DW_AT_external    : 1
    <18dd780>   DW_AT_location    : 1 byte block: 51    (DW_OP_reg1 (r1))

 where 18da5cd is:

 <1><18da5cd>: Abbrev Number: 47 (DW_TAG_base_type)
    <18da5ce>   DW_AT_byte_size   : 8
    <18da5cf>   DW_AT_encoding    : 7   (unsigned)
    <18da5d0>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x55c7): long unsigned int
<<>>

To make it more clear to the user, capture the DW_AT_name of the
variable and save it as part of Dwarf_Global. Dwarf_Global is used so
that it can be used and retrieved while presenting the result.

Update "dso__findnew_data_type" function to set "var_name" if
variable name is set as part of Dwarf_Global. Updated
"hist_entry__typeoff_snprintf" to print var_name if it is set.
With the changes, along with "long unsigned int" report also says the
variable name as current_stack_pointer

Snippet of result:

    12.85%  long unsigned int  long unsigned int +0 (current_stack_pointer)
     4.68%  struct paca_struct  struct paca_struct +2312 (__current)
     4.57%  struct paca_struct  struct paca_struct +2354 (irq_soft_mask)
