From: Josh Poimboeuf jpoimboe@redhat.com Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2018 07:19:21 -0600 Subject: objtool: Fix another switch table detection issue
From: Josh Poimboeuf jpoimboe@redhat.com
commit 1402fd8ed7e5bda1b3e7613b70780b0db392d1e6 upstream.
Continue the switch table detection whack-a-mole. Add a check to distinguish KASAN data reads from switch data reads. The switch jump tables in .rodata have relocations associated with them.
This fixes the following warning:
crypto/asymmetric_keys/x509_cert_parser.o: warning: objtool: x509_note_pkey_algo()+0xa4: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
