[PATCH v8 15/21] x86/asm/crypto: Move jump_table to .rodata section

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Tue Jul 28 2015 - 10:50:53 EST


stackvalidate reports the following warning:

stackvalidate: arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.o: crc_pcl()+0x11dd: can't decode instruction

It gets confused when trying to decode jump_table data. Move jump_table
to the .rodata section which is a more appropriate home for read-only
data.
