uses "#pragma clang attribute push (attribute((preserve_access_index)),
apply_to = record)"
to apply CO-RE relocations to all records including the following pattern:
#pragma clang attribute push (__attribute__((preserve_access_index)), apply_to = record) typedef struct { int a; } __t; #pragma clang attribute pop int test(__t *arg) { return arg->a; }
The current approach to use struct type in the relocation record will
result in an anonymous struct, which make later type matching difficult
in bpf loader. In fact, current BPF backend will fail the above program
with assertion:
clang: ../lib/Target/BPF/BPFAbstractMemberAccess.cpp:796: ... Assertion `TypeName.size()' failed.
The patch use the base lvalue type for the "base" value to annotate
preservee_{struct,union}_access_index intrinsics. In the above example,
the type will be "__t" which preserved the type name.
