55 * There are 3 basic jump table patterns:
57 * 1. jmpq *[rodata addr](,%reg,8)
59 * This is the most common case by far. It jumps to an address in a simple
60 * jump table which is stored in .rodata.
62 * 2. jmpq *[rodata addr](%rip)
64 * This is caused by a rare GCC quirk, currently only seen in three driver
65 * functions in the kernel, only with certain obscure non-distro configs.
67 * As part of an optimization, GCC makes a copy of an existing switch jump
68 * table, modifies it, and then hard-codes the jump (albeit with an indirect
69 * jump) to use a single entry in the table. The rest of the jump table and
70 * some of its jump targets remain as dead code.
72 * In such a case we can just crudely ignore all unreachable instruction
73 * warnings for the entire object file. Ideally we would just ignore them
74 * for the function, but that would require redesigning the code quite a
75 * bit. And honestly that's just not worth doing: unreachable instruction
76 * warnings are of questionable value anyway, and this is such a rare issue.
78 * 3. mov [rodata addr],%reg1
79 * ... some instructions ...
80 * jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8)
82 * This is a fairly uncommon pattern which is new for GCC 6. As of this
83 * writing, there are 11 occurrences of it in the allmodconfig kernel.
85 * As of GCC 7 there are quite a few more of these and the 'in between' code
86 * is significant. Esp. with KASAN enabled some of the code between the mov
87 * and jmpq uses .rodata itself, which can confuse things.
89 * TODO: Once we have DWARF CFI and smarter instruction decoding logic,
90 * ensure the same register is used in the mov and jump instructions.
92 * NOTE: RETPOLINE made it harder still to decode dynamic jumps.
