Previously, global_var__collect() required get_global_var_info() to succeed (i.e., the variable must have a symbol name) before caching a global variable. This prevented variables that exist in DWARF but lack symbol table coverage from being cached. Remove the symbol table requirement since DW_OP_addr already provides the variable's address directly from DWARF. The symbol table lookup is now optional to obtain the variable name when available. Also remove the var_offset != 0 check, which was intended to skip variables where the access address doesn't match the symbol start. The symbol table lookup is now optional and I found removing this check has no effect on the annotation results for both kernel and userspace programs. Test results show improved annotation coverage especially for userspace programs with RIP-relative addressing instructions.
