[PATCH v6 5/8] objtool: Check local label in add_dead_ends()

From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Tue Jan 30 2024 - 01:18:05 EST


When update the latest upstream gcc and binutils, it generates more
objtool warnings on LoongArch, like this:

init/main.o: warning: objtool: unexpected relocation symbol type in .rela.discard.unreachable

We can see that the reloc sym name is local label instead of section
in relocation section '.rela.discard.unreachable', in this case, the
reloc sym type is STT_NOTYPE instead of STT_SECTION.

As suggested by Peter Zijlstra, add "local_label" member in struct
symbol, then set it as true if symbol type is STT_NOTYPE and symbol
name starts with ".L" string in classify_symbols().

Let us check reloc->sym->local_label to not return -1, and also use
reloc->sym->offset instead of reloc addend which is 0 to find the
corresponding instruction. At the same time, replace the variable
"addend" with "offset" to reflect the reality.

Here are some detailed info:
[fedora@linux 6.8.test]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 14.0.1 20240129 (experimental)
[fedora@linux 6.8.test]$ as --version
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.42.50.20240129
[fedora@linux 6.8.test]$ readelf -r init/main.o | grep -A 2 "rela.discard.unreachable"
Relocation section '.rela.discard.unreachable' at offset 0x6028 contains 1 entry:
Offset Info Type Sym. Value Sym. Name + Addend
000000000000 00d900000063 R_LARCH_32_PCREL 00000000000002c4 .L500^B1 + 0
