At this point, --fentry (mcount function entry) option for gcc fuzzes
the debuginfo variable locations by skipping the mcount instruction
offset (on x86, this is a 5 byte call instruction).
This makes variable searching fail at the entry of functions which
are mcount'ed.
e.g.)
Available variables at vfs_read
@<vfs_read+0>
(No matched variables)
This patch adds additional location search at the function entry point
to solve this issue, which tries to find the earliest address for the
variable location.
Note that this only works with function parameters (formal parameters)
because any local variables should not exist on the function entry
address (those are not initialized yet).
With this patch, perf probe shows correct parameters if possible;
# perf probe --vars vfs_read
Available variables at vfs_read
@<vfs_read+0>
char* buf
loff_t* pos
size_t count
struct file* file
