[PATCH 10/48] perf annotate-data: Add find_data_type()

[Namhyung Kim]

The find_data_type() is to get a data type from the memory access at the
given address (IP) using a register and an offset.  It requires DWARF
debug info in the DSO and searches the list of variables and function
parameters in the scope.

In a pseudo code, it does basically the following:

  find_data_type(dso, ip, reg, offset)
  {
      pc = map__rip_2objdump(ip);
      CU = dwarf_addrdie(dso->dwarf, pc);
      scopes = die_get_scopes(CU, pc);
      for_each_scope(S, scopes) {
          V = die_find_variable_by_reg(S, pc, reg);
          if (V && V.type == pointer_type) {
              T = die_get_real_type(V);
              if (offset < T.size)
                  return T;
          }
      }
      return NULL;
  }
