[PATCH] perf annotate-data: Show typedef names properly

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Aug 07 2024 - 18:32:18 EST


The die_get_typename() would resolve typedef and get to the original
type. But sometimes the original type is a struct without name and it
makes the output confusing and hard to read.

This is a diff of perf report -s type before and after the change.
New types such as atomic{,64}_t and sigset_t appeared and the portion
of unnamed struct was reduced. Also u32, u64 and size_t were splitted
from the base types.

- 0.08% struct seqcount_spinlock
+ 0.08% seqcount_spinlock_t
+ 0.08% sigset_t
+ 0.08% __poll_t

Let's use the typedef name directly and the resolved to get the size of
the type.
