In check_matching_type(), it'd be easier to display the typename in question if it's available. For example, check out the line starts with 'chk'. ----------------------------------------------------------- find data type for 0x10(reg0) at cpuacct_charge+0x13 CU for kernel/sched/build_utility.c (die:0x137ee0b) frame base: cfa=1 fbreg=7 scope: [3/3] (die:13d9632) bb: [c - 13] var [c] reg5 type='struct task_struct*' size=0x8 (die:0x1381230) mov [c] 0xdf8(reg5) -> reg0 type='struct css_set*' size=0x8 (die:0x1385c56) chk [13] reg0 offset=0x10 ok=1 kind=1 (struct css_set*) : Good! <<<--- here found by insn track: 0x10(reg0) type-offset=0x10 final result: type='struct css_set' size=0x250 (die:0x1385b0e) Another example: ----------------------------------------------------------- find data type for 0x8(reg0) at menu_select+0x279 CU for drivers/cpuidle/governors/menu.c (die:0x7b0fe79) frame base: cfa=1 fbreg=7 scope: [2/2] (die:7b11010) bb: [273 - 277] bb: [279 - 279] chk [279] reg0 offset=0x8 ok=0 kind=0 cfa : no type information scope: [1/2] (die:7b10cbc) bb: [0 - 64] ... mov [26a] imm=0xffffffff -> reg15 bb: [273 - 277] bb: [279 - 279] chk [279] reg0 offset=0x8 ok=1 kind=1 (long long unsigned int) : no/void pointer <<<--- here final result: no/void pointer Also change some places to print negative offsets properly.

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.
