compiler.h: specify correct attribute for .rodata..c_jump_table
Currently, there is an assembler message when generating kernel/bpf/core.o under CONFIG_OBJTOOL with LoongArch compiler toolchain: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata..c_jump_table This is because the section ".rodata..c_jump_table" should be readonly, but there is a "W" (writable) part of the flags: $ readelf -S kernel/bpf/core.o | grep -A 1 "rodata..c" [34] .rodata..c_j[...] PROGBITS 0000000000000000 0000d2e0 0000000000000800 0000000000000000 WA 0 0 8 There is no above issue on x86 due to the generated section flag is only "A" (allocatable). In order to silence the warning on LoongArch, specify the attribute like ".rodata..c_jump_table,\"a\",@progbits #" explicitly, then the section attribute of ".rodata..c_jump_table" must be readonly in the kernel/bpf/core.o file. Before: $ objdump -h kernel/bpf/core.o | grep -A 1 "rodata..c" 21 .rodata..c_jump_table 00000800 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000d2e0 2**3 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA After: $ objdump -h kernel/bpf/core.o | grep -A 1 "rodata..c" 21 .rodata..c_jump_table 00000800 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000d2e0 2**3 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, DATA By the way, AFAICT, maybe the root cause is related with the different compiler behavior of various archs, so to some extent this change is a workaround for LoongArch, and also there is no effect for x86 which is the only port supported by objtool before LoongArch with this patch.
