pahole: Fix -m/--nr_methods - Number of functions operating on a type pointer
We had to use the same hack as in pfunct, as implemented in ccf3eebfcd9c
("btf_loader: Add support for BTF_KIND_FUNC"), will hide that 'struct
ftype' (aka function prototype) indirection behind the parameter
iterator (function__for_each_parameter).
For now, here is the top 10 Linux kernel data structures in terms of
number of functions receiving as one of its parameters a pointer to it,
using /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux to look at all the vmlinux types and
functions (the ones visible in kallsyms, but with the parameters and its
types):
$ pahole -m | sort -k2 -nr | head
device 955
sock 568
sk_buff 541
task_struct 437
inode 421
pci_dev 390
page 351
net_device 347
file 315
net 312
$
$ pahole --help |& grep -- -m
-m, --nr_methods show number of methods
