mainlining shenanigans
4a60aa05a0
Add support for processing switch jump tables in objects with multiple .rodata sections, such as those created by '-ffunction-sections' and '-fdata-sections'. Currently, objtool always looks in .rodata for jump table information, which results in many "sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame" warnings with objects compiled using those flags. The fix is comprised of three parts: 1. Flagging all .rodata sections when importing ELF information for easier checking later. 2. Keeping a reference to the section each relocation is from in order to get the list_head for the other relocations in that section. 3. Finding jump tables by following relocations to .rodata sections, rather than always referencing a single global .rodata section. The patch has been tested without data sections enabled and no differences in the resulting orc unwind information were seen. Note that as objtool adds terminators to end of each .text section the unwind information generated between a function+data sections build and a normal build aren't directly comparable. Manual inspection suggests that objtool is now generating the correct information, or at least making more of an effort to do so than it did previously.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
