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/union 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.
clang will change to use the type of the base of the member access
which will preserve the typedef modifier for the
preserve_{struct,union}_access_index intrinsics in the above example.
Here we adjust BPF backend to accept that the debuginfo
type metadata may be 'typedef' and handle them properly.
