[PATCH v2 10/14] objtool: Add support for relative switch tables

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Thu Jun 22 2023 - 06:57:33 EST


On powerpc, switch tables are relative, than means the address of the
table is added to the value of the entry in order to get the pointed
address: (r10 is the table address, r4 the index in the table)

lis r10,0 <== Load r10 with upper part of .rodata address
R_PPC_ADDR16_HA .rodata
addi r10,r10,0 <== Add lower part of .rodata address
R_PPC_ADDR16_LO .rodata
lwzx r8,r10,r4 <== Read table entry at r10 + r4 into r8
add r10,r8,r10 <== Add table address to read value
mtctr r10 <== Save calculated address in CTR
bctr <== Branch to address in CTR

But for c_jump_tables it is not the case, they contain the
pointed address directly:

lis r28,0 <== Load r28 with upper .rodata..c_jump_table
R_PPC_ADDR16_HA .rodata..c_jump_table
addi r28,r28,0 <== Add lower part of .rodata..c_jump_table
R_PPC_ADDR16_LO .rodata..c_jump_table
lwzx r10,r28,r10 <== Read table entry at r10 + r28 into r10
mtctr r10 <== Save read value in CTR
bctr <== Branch to address in CTR

Add support to objtool for relative tables, with a flag in order to
tell table by table if that table uses relative or absolute addressing.

And use correct size for 'long' instead of hard coding a size of '8'.
