Linux kernel source tree
1f4cc4ae3f
Track the arithmetic operations on registers with pointer types. We
handle only add, sub and lea instructions. The original pointer
information needs to be preserved for getting outermost struct types.
For example, reg0 points to a struct cfs_rq, when we add 0x10 to reg0,
it should preserve the information of struct cfs_rq + 0x10 in the
register instead of a pointer type to the child field at 0x10.
Details:
1. struct type_state_reg now includes an offset, indicating if the
register points to the start or an internal part of its associated
type. This offset is used in mem to reg and reg to stack mem
transfers, and also applied to the final type offset.
2. lea offset(%sp/%fp), reg is now treated as taking the address of a
stack variable. It worked fine in most cases, but an issue with this
approach is the pointer type may not exist.
3. lea offset(%base), reg is handled by moving the type from %base and
adding an offset, similar to an add operation followed by a mov reg
to reg.
4. Non-stack variables from DWARF with non-zero offsets in their
location expressions are now accepted with register offset tracking.
Multi-register addressing modes in LEA are not supported.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
