[PATCH 2/7] LoongArch: Switch to relative exception tables

From: Youling Tang
Date: Mon Oct 10 2022 - 05:32:52 EST


Similar as other architectures such as arm64, x86, riscv and so on, use
offsets relative to the exception table entry values rather than absolute
addresses for both the exception locationand the fixup.

However, LoongArch label difference will actually produce two relocations,
a pair of R_LARCH_ADD32 and R_LARCH_SUB32. Take below simple code for
example:

$ cat test_ex_table.S
.section .text
1:
nop
.section __ex_table,"a"
.balign 4
.long (1b - .)
.previous

$ loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -c test_ex_table.S
$ loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-readelf -Wr test_ex_table.o

Relocation section '.rela__ex_table' at offset 0x100 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000000000 0000000600000032 R_LARCH_ADD32 0000000000000000 .L1^B1 + 0
0000000000000000 0000000500000037 R_LARCH_SUB32 0000000000000000 L0^A + 0

The modpost will complain the R_LARCH_SUB32 relocation, so we need to
patch modpost.c to skip this relocation for .rela__ex_table section.
