[PATCH v6 6/8] objtool: Check local label in read_unwind_hints()

From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Tue Jan 30 2024 - 01:19:56 EST


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

arch/loongarch/kernel/entry.o: warning: objtool: ret_from_fork+0x0: unreachable instruction

We can see that the reloc sym name is local label instead of section
in relocation section '.rela.discard.unwind_hints', in this case, the
reloc sym type is STT_NOTYPE instead of STT_SECTION. Let us check it
to not return -1, then use reloc->sym->offset instead of reloc addend
which is 0 to find the corresponding instruction.

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 arch/loongarch/kernel/entry.o | grep -A 3 "rela.discard.unwind_hints"
Relocation section '.rela.discard.unwind_hints' at offset 0x3a8 contains 7 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym. Value Sym. Name + Addend
000000000000 000a00000063 R_LARCH_32_PCREL 0000000000000000 .Lhere_1 + 0
00000000000c 000b00000063 R_LARCH_32_PCREL 00000000000000a8 .Lhere_50 + 0
