Subject: perf dwarf-aux: Preserve typedefs in match_var_offset
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ace16303179efad4e1a2aebb27a661e5d1e7277d;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

perf dwarf-aux: Preserve typedefs in match_var_offset

Preserve typedefs in match_var_offset to match the results by
__die_get_real_type. Also move the (offset == 0) branch after the
is_pointer check to ensure the correct type is used, fixing cases where
an incorrect pointer type was chosen when the access offset was 0.
