objtool: Fix another GCC jump table detection issue
Arnd Bergmann reported a (false positive) objtool warning: drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0xfe: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer The issue is in find_switch_table(). It tries to find a switch statement's jump table by walking backwards from an indirect jump instruction, looking for a relocation to the .rodata section. In this case it stopped walking prematurely: the first .rodata relocation it encountered was for a variable (resp_state_name) instead of a jump table, so it just assumed there wasn't a jump table. The fix is to ignore any .rodata relocation which refers to an ELF object symbol. This works because the jump tables are anonymous and have no symbols associated with them.
