From the above example, you can see that DW_TAG_pointer_type
may contain one or more DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation btf_type_tag tags.
If DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation tags are present inside
DW_TAG_pointer_type, for BTF encoding, pahole will need
to follow [3] to generate a type chain like
var -> ptr -> tag2 -> tag1 -> ptr -> tag1 -> int
This patch implemented dwarf_loader support. If a pointer type
contains DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation tags, a new type
btf_type_tag_ptr_type will be created which will store
the pointer tag itself and all DW_TAG_LLVM_annotation tags.
During recoding stage, the type chain will be formed properly
based on the above example.
An option "--skip_encoding_btf_type_tag" is added to disable
this new functionality.

is the comment accurate or the final one should have looked like
pointer -> tag1 -> tag2 -> tag3 -> pointee? Basically, trying to
understand if the final BTF represents the source-level order of tags
or not?
The comment is accurate. Given source like
int tag1 tag2 tag3 *p;
the final type chain is
p -> tag3 -> tag2 -> tag1 -> int
basically it means
- '*' applies to "int tag1 tag2 tag3"
- tag3 applies to "int tag1 tag2"
- tag2 applies to "int tag1"
- tag1 applies to "int"
This also makes final source code (format c) easier as
we can do
emit for "tag3 -> tag2 -> tag1 -> int"
emit '*'
For 'tag3 -> tag2 -> tag1 -> int":
emit for "tag2 -> tag1 -> int"
emit tag3
Eventually we can get the source code like
int tag1 tag2 tag3 *p
and this matches the user/kernel code.
