[PATCH 13/23] perf annotate-data: Handle call instructions

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Tue Mar 19 2024 - 01:54:15 EST


When updating instruction states, the call instruction should play a
role since it changes the register states. For simplicity, mark some
registers as caller-saved registers (should be arch-dependent), and
invalidate them all after a function call.

If the function returns something, the designated register (ret_reg)
will have the type info.
