Check return values of `dwarf_aggregate_size` and `dwarf_formudata`.
Additionally:
- Avoid `vfprintf` undefined behavior with `NULL` strings by using
the `die_name()` helper for `dwarf_diename()` in `pr_*` calls.
- Use `die_get_data_member_location()` (updated to use
`dwarf_attr_integrate`) to correctly parse location expressions
for inherited member locations in the fallback path when
`dwarf_formudata()` fails.

When a function call occurs, caller-saved registers are typically
invalidated since the callee may clobber them. However, DWARF debug info
provides location ranges that indicate exactly where a variable is valid
in a register.
Track the DWARF location range end address in type_state_reg and use it
to determine if a caller-saved register should be preserved across a
call. If the current call address is within the DWARF-specified lifetime
of the variable, keep the register state valid instead of invalidating
it.
This improves type annotation for code where the compiler knows a
register value survives across calls (e.g., when the callee is known not
to clobber certain registers or when the value is reloaded after the
call at the same logical location).
Changes:
- Add `end` and `has_range` fields to die_var_type to capture DWARF
location range information
- Add `lifetime_active` and `lifetime_end` fields to type_state_reg
- Check location lifetime before invalidating caller-saved registers

When a register holds a constant value (TSR_KIND_CONST) and is used with
a negative offset, treat it as a potential global variable access
instead of falling through to CFA (frame) handling.
This fixes cases like array indexing with computed offsets:
movzbl -0x7d72725a(%rax), %eax # array[%rax]
Where %rax contains a computed index and the negative offset points to a
global array. Previously this fell through to the CFA path which doesn't
handle global variables, resulting in "no type information".
The fix redirects such accesses to check_kernel which calls
get_global_var_type() to resolve the type from the global variable
cache. This is only done for kernel DSOs since the pattern relies on
kernel-specific global variable resolution. We could also treat
registers with integer types to the global variable path, but this
requires more changes.

Previously, global_var__collect() required get_global_var_info() to
succeed (i.e., the variable must have a symbol name) before caching a
global variable. This prevented variables that exist in DWARF but lack
symbol table coverage from being cached.
Remove the symbol table requirement since DW_OP_addr already provides
the variable's address directly from DWARF. The symbol table lookup is
now optional to obtain the variable name when available.
Also remove the var_offset != 0 check, which was intended to skip
variables where the access address doesn't match the symbol start. The
symbol table lookup is now optional and I found removing this check has
no effect on the annotation results for both kernel and userspace
programs.
Test results show improved annotation coverage especially for userspace
programs with RIP-relative addressing instructions.

When comparing types from different scopes, first compare their type
offsets. A larger offset means the field belongs to an outer (enclosing)
struct. This helps resolve cases where a pointer is found in an inner
scope, but a struct containing that pointer exists in an outer scope.
Previously, is_better_type would prefer the pointer type, but the struct
type is actually more complete and should be chosen.
Prefer types from outer scopes when is_better_type cannot determine a
better type. This is a heuristic for the case `struct A { struct B; }`
where A and B have the same size but I think in most cases A is in the
outer scope and should be preferred.

Both die_find_variable_by_reg and die_find_variable_by_addr call
match_var_offset which already performs sufficient checking and type
matching. The additional check_variable call is redundant, and its
need_pointer logic is only a heuristic. Since DWARF encodes accurate
type information, which match_var_offset verifies, skipping
check_variable improves both coverage and accuracy.
Return the matched type from die_find_variable_by_reg and
die_find_variable_by_addr via the existing `type` field in
find_var_data, removing the need for check_variable in

When a variable type is wrapped in typedef/qualifiers, callers may need
to first resolve it to the underlying DW_TAG_pointer_type or
DW_TAG_array_type. A simple tag check is not enough and directly calling
__die_get_real_type() can stop at the pointer type (e.g. typedef ->
pointer) instead of the pointee type.
Add die_get_pointer_type() helper that follows typedef/qualifier chains
and returns the underlying pointer DIE. Use it in annotate-data.c so
pointer checks and dereference work correctly for typedef'd pointers.

The tracked pointer offset was not being preserved in the stack state,
which could lead to incorrect type analysis. This change adds a
ptr_offset field to the type_state_stack struct and passes it to
set_stack_state and findnew_stack_state to ensure the offset is
preserved after the pointer is loaded from a stack location. It improves
the type annotation coverage and quality.

Track the arithmetic operations on registers with pointer types. We
handle only add, sub and lea instructions. The original pointer
information needs to be preserved for getting outermost struct types.
For example, reg0 points to a struct cfs_rq, when we add 0x10 to reg0,
it should preserve the information of struct cfs_rq + 0x10 in the
register instead of a pointer type to the child field at 0x10.
Details:
1. struct type_state_reg now includes an offset, indicating if the
register points to the start or an internal part of its associated
type. This offset is used in mem to reg and reg to stack mem
transfers, and also applied to the final type offset.
2. lea offset(%sp/%fp), reg is now treated as taking the address of a
stack variable. It worked fine in most cases, but an issue with this
approach is the pointer type may not exist.
3. lea offset(%base), reg is handled by moving the type from %base and
adding an offset, similar to an add operation followed by a mov reg
to reg.
4. Non-stack variables from DWARF with non-zero offsets in their
location expressions are now accepted with register offset tracking.
Multi-register addressing modes in LEA are not supported.

Introduce TSR_KIND_POINTER to improve the data type profiler's ability
to track pointer-based memory accesses and address register variables.
TSR_KIND_POINTER represents that the location holds a pointer type to
the type in the type state. The semantics match the `breg` registers
that describe a memory location.
This change implements handling for this new kind in mov instructions
and in the check_matching_type() function. When a TSR_KIND_POINTER is
moved to the stack, the stack state size is set to the architecture's
pointer size.

Utilizes the previous is_breg_access_indirect function to determine if
the register + offset stores the variable itself or the struct it points
to, save the information in die_var_type.is_reg_var_addr.
Since we are storing the real types in the stack state, we need to do a
type dereference when is_reg_var_addr is set to false for stack/frame
registers.
For other gp registers, skip the variable when the register is a pointer
to the type. If we want to accept these variables, we might also utilize
is_reg_var_addr in a different way, we need to mark that register as a
pointer to the type.

In some cases, compilers don't set the location expression in DWARF
precisely. For instance, it may assign a variable to a register after
copying it from a different register. Then it should use the register
for the new type but still uses the old register. This makes hard to
track the type information properly.
This is an example I found in __tcp_transmit_skb(). The first argument
(sk) of this function is a pointer to sock and there's a variable (tp)
for tcp_sock.
static int __tcp_transmit_skb(struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb,
int clone_it, gfp_t gfp_mask, u32 rcv_nxt)
{
...
struct tcp_sock *tp;
BUG_ON(!skb || !tcp_skb_pcount(skb));
tp = tcp_sk(sk);
prior_wstamp = tp->tcp_wstamp_ns;
tp->tcp_wstamp_ns = max(tp->tcp_wstamp_ns, tp->tcp_clock_cache);
...
So it basically calls tcp_sk(sk) to get the tcp_sock pointer from sk.
But it turned out to be the same value because tcp_sock embeds sock as
the first member. The sk is located in reg5 (RDI) and tp is in reg3
(RBX). The offset of tcp_wstamp_ns is 0x748 and tcp_clock_cache is
0x750. So you need to use RBX (reg3) to access the fields in the
tcp_sock. But the code used RDI (reg5) as it has the same value.
$ pahole --hex -C tcp_sock vmlinux | grep -e 748 -e 750
u64 tcp_wstamp_ns; /* 0x748 0x8 */
u64 tcp_clock_cache; /* 0x750 0x8 */
And this is the disassembly of the part of the function.
<__tcp_transmit_skb>:
...
44: mov %rdi, %rbx
47: mov 0x748(%rdi), %rsi
4e: mov 0x750(%rdi), %rax
55: cmp %rax, %rsi
Because compiler put the debug info to RBX, it only knows RDI is a
pointer to sock and accessing those two fields resulted in error
due to offset being beyond the type size.

While it's a fault in the compiler, we could work around this issue by
using the type of new variable when it's copied directly. So I've added
copied_from field in the register state to track those direct register
to register copies. After that new register gets a new type and the old
register still has the same type, it'll update (copy it back) the type
of the old register.
For example, if we can update type of reg5 at __tcp_transmit_skb+0x47,
we can find the target type of the instruction at 0x63 like below:

When checking the match variable at the target instruction, it might not
have any information if it's a first write to a stack slot. In this
case it could spill a register value into the stack so the type info is
in the source operand.
But currently it's hard to get the operand from the checking function.
Let's process the instruction and retry to get the type info from the
stack if there's no information already.
This is an example of __tcp_transmit_skb(). The instructions are
<__tcp_transmit_skb>:
0: nopl 0x0(%rax, %rax, 1)

wrong order. When it's the percpu pointer, it should check the type for
the pointer, but it checks the CFA bit first and thought it has no type
in the stack slot. This resulted in no type info.

no type information
Here, instruction at 0x72 found reg1 has a (percpu) pointer and got the
correct type. But when it checks the final result, it wrongly thought
it was stack variable because it checks the cfa bit first.
After changing the order of state check:
