From clang's documentation (llvm-project/clang/include/clang/AST/RecursiveASTVisitor.h):
/// A class that does preorder or postorder
/// depth-first traversal on the entire Clang AST and visits each node.
///
/// This class performs three distinct tasks:
/// 1. traverse the AST (i.e. go to each node);
/// 2. at a given node, walk up the class hierarchy, starting from
/// the node's dynamic type, until the top-most class (e.g. Stmt,
/// Decl, or Type) is reached.
/// 3. given a (node, class) combination, where 'class' is some base
/// class of the dynamic type of 'node', call a user-overridable
/// function to actually visit the node.
///
/// These tasks are done by three groups of methods, respectively:
/// 1. TraverseDecl(Decl *x) does task #1. It is the entry point
/// for traversing an AST rooted at x. This method simply
/// dispatches (i.e. forwards) to TraverseFoo(Foo *x) where Foo
/// is the dynamic type of *x, which calls WalkUpFromFoo(x) and
/// then recursively visits the child nodes of x.
/// TraverseStmt(Stmt *x) and TraverseType(QualType x) work
/// similarly.
/// 2. WalkUpFromFoo(Foo *x) does task #2. It does not try to visit
/// any child node of x. Instead, it first calls WalkUpFromBar(x)
/// where Bar is the direct parent class of Foo (unless Foo has
/// no parent), and then calls VisitFoo(x) (see the next list item).
/// 3. VisitFoo(Foo *x) does task #3.
///
/// These three method groups are tiered (Traverse* > WalkUpFrom* >
/// Visit*). A method (e.g. Traverse*) may call methods from the same
/// tier (e.g. other Traverse*) or one tier lower (e.g. WalkUpFrom*).
/// It may not call methods from a higher tier.
This implies that the Visitor##DECL methods may not call Traverse##DECL methods, which may explain some of the weird behaviors we are seeing when analyzing kernel source. Refactor this so this partial order relation is respected.
