[PATCH] objtool: Check local label in is_sibling_call() and add_jump_destinations()

From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Tue Aug 15 2023 - 04:37:16 EST


When update the latest upstream gcc and binutils which enables linker
relaxation by default, it generates more objtool warnings on LoongArch,
like this:

init/version.o: warning: objtool: early_hostname+0x20: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

We can see that the branch and jump operation about local label ".L2"
is not sibling call, because a sibling call is a tail-call to another
symbol. In this case, make is_sibling_call() return false, set dest_sec
and dest_off to calculate jump_dest in add_jump_destinations().

Here are some detailed info:
[fedora@linux 6.5.test]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 14.0.0 20230803 (experimental)
[fedora@linux 6.5.test]$ as --version
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.41.50.20230803
[fedora@linux 6.5.test]$ objdump -M no-aliases -D init/version.o

0: 00150085 or $a1, $a0, $zero
4: 1a000004 pcalau12i $a0, 0
8: 02ffc063 addi.d $sp, $sp, -16
c: 02810406 addi.w $a2, $zero, 65
10: 02c00084 addi.d $a0, $a0, 0

18: 54000000 bl 0 # 18 <early_hostname+0x18>

20: 6c001584 bgeu $t0, $a0, 20 # 34 <.L2>
24: 1a000004 pcalau12i $a0, 0
28: 02810005 addi.w $a1, $zero, 64
2c: 02c00084 addi.d $a0, $a0, 0
30: 54000000 bl 0 # 30 <early_hostname+0x30>

0000000000000034 <.L2>:
34: 28c02061 ld.d $ra, $sp, 8
38: 00150004 or $a0, $zero, $zero
3c: 02c04063 addi.d $sp, $sp, 16
40: 4c000020 jirl $zero, $ra, 0

By the way, it need to move insn_reloc() before is_sibling_call()
to avoid implicit declaration build error.
