The objtool program need to analysis the control flow of each object file
generated by compiler toolchain, it needs to know all the locations that
a branch instruction may jump into, if a jump table is used, objtool has
to correlate the jump instruction with the table.
On x86 (which is the only port supported by objtool before LoongArch),
there is a relocation type on the jump instruction and directly points
to the table. But on LoongArch, the relocation is on another kind of
instruction prior to the jump instruction, and also with scheduling it
is not very easy to tell the offset of that instruction from the jump
instruction. Furthermore, because LoongArch has -fsection-anchors (often
enabled at -O1 or above) the relocation may actually points to a section
anchor instead of the table itself.
For the jump table of switch cases, a GCC patch "LoongArch: Add support
to annotate tablejump" and a Clang patch "[LoongArch] Add options for
annotate tablejump" have been merged into the upstream mainline, it can
parse the additional section ".discard.tablejump_annotate" which stores
the jump info as pairs of addresses, each pair contains the address of
jump instruction and the address of jump table.
For the jump table of computed gotos, it is indeed not easy to implement
in the compiler, especially if there is more than one computed goto in a
function such as ___bpf_prog_run(). objdump kernel/bpf/core.o shows that
there are many table jump instructions in ___bpf_prog_run(), but there are
no relocations on the table jump instructions and to the table directly on
LoongArch.
Without the help of compiler, in order to figure out the address of goto
table for the special case of ___bpf_prog_run(), since the instruction
sequence is relatively single and stable, it makes sense to add a helper
find_reloc_of_rodata_c_jump_table() to find the relocation which points
to the section ".rodata..c_jump_table".
If find_reloc_by_table_annotate() failed, it means there is no relocation
info of switch table address in ".rela.discard.tablejump_annotate", then
objtool may find the relocation info of goto table ".rodata..c_jump_table"
with find_reloc_of_rodata_c_jump_table().
