[PATCH] perf probe: Add support for DW_OP_call_frame_cfa vars

From: Daniel Shaulov
Date: Wed Apr 01 2020 - 12:56:45 EST


Add support for probes on variables with DW_OP_call_frame_cfa
as the dwarf operation in the debug info.

Some compilers (specifically Golang compiler) output
DW_OP_call_frame_cfa instead of DW_OP_fbreg for variables
on the stack. If DW_OP_call_frame_cfa is the only expression
than it is the same as DW_OP_fbreg with an offset of zero.
In the case of the Golang compiler, DW_OP_call_frame_cfa may
be followed by DW_OP_consts, with a number and than DW_OP_plus.
This trio is the same as DW_OP_fbreg with the number from
DW_OP_consts as the offset.

With this change, probing on functions in Golang with variables works.
