perf annotate-data: Add stack operation pseudo type
A typical function prologue and epilogue include multiple stack
operations to save and restore the current value of registers.
On x86, it looks like below:
push r15
push r14
push r13
push r12
...
pop r12
pop r13
pop r14
pop r15
ret
As these all touches the stack memory region, chances are high that they
appear in a memory profile data. But these are not used for any real
purpose yet so it'd return no types.
One of my profile type shows that non neglible portion of data came from
the stack operations. It also seems GCC generates more stack operations
than clang.
Annotate Instruction stats
total 264, ok 169 (64.0%), bad 95 (36.0%)
Name : Good Bad
-----------------------------------------------------------
movq : 49 27
movl : 24 9
popq : 0 19 <-- here
cmpl : 17 2
addq : 14 1
cmpq : 12 2
cmpxchgl : 3 7
Instead of dealing them as unknown, let's create a seperate pseudo type
to represent those stack operations separately.
