A C jump table (such as the one used by the BPF interpreter) is a const
global array of absolute code addresses, and this means that the actual
values in the table may not be known until the kernel is booted (e.g.,
when using KASLR or when the kernel VA space is sized dynamically).
When using PIE codegen, the compiler will default to placing such const
global objects in .data.rel.ro (which is annotated as writable), rather
than .rodata (which is annotated as read-only). As C jump tables are
explicitly emitted into .rodata, this used to result in warnings for
LoongArch builds (which uses PIE codegen for the entire kernel) like
Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata..c_jump_table
due to the fact that the explicitly specified .rodata section inherited
the read-write annotation that the compiler uses for such objects when
using PIE codegen.
This warning was suppressed by explicitly adding the read-only
annotation to the __attribute__((section(""))) string, by commit
c5b1184dec ("compiler.h: specify correct attribute for .rodata..c_jump_table")
Unfortunately, this hack does not work on Clang's integrated assembler,
which happily interprets the appended section type and permission
specifiers as part of the section name, which therefore no longer
matches the hard-coded pattern '.rodata..c_jump_table' that objtool
expects, causing it to emit a warning
kernel/bpf/core.o: warning: objtool: ___bpf_prog_run+0x20: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
Work around this, by emitting C jump tables into .data.rel.ro instead,
which is treated as .rodata by the linker script for all builds, not
just PIE based ones.

Pull objtool fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Move a warning about a lld.ld breakage into the verbose setting as
said breakage has been fixed in the meantime
- Teach objtool to ignore dangling jump table entries added by Clang
* tag 'objtool_urgent_for_v6.14_rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
objtool: Move dodgy linker warn to verbose
objtool: Ignore dangling jump table entries
Starting with Rust 1.85.0 (currently in beta, to be released 2025-02-20),
under some kernel configurations with `CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y`,
one may trigger a new `objtool` warning:
rust/kernel.o: warning: objtool: _R...securityNtB2_11SecurityCtx8as_bytes()
falls through to next function _R...core3ops4drop4Drop4drop()
due to a call to the `noreturn` symbol:
core::panicking::assert_failed::<usize, usize>
Thus add it to the list so that `objtool` knows it is actually `noreturn`.
Do so matching with `strstr` since it is a generic.
See commit 56d680dd23 ("objtool/rust: list `noreturn` Rust functions")
for more details.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # Needed in 6.12.y and 6.13.y only (Rust is pinned in older LTSs).

The lld.ld borkage is fixed in the latest llvm release (?) but will
not be backported, meaning we're stuck with broken linker for a fair
while.
Lets not spam all clang build logs and move warning to verbose.

In preparation for adding support for annotated jump tables, where
ELF relocations and symbols are used to describe the locations of jump
tables in the executable, refactor the jump table discovery logic so the
table size can be returned from arch_find_switch_table().
