[PATCH] loongarch: Only select HAVE_OBJTOOL and allow ORC unwinder if the inline assembler supports R_LARCH_{32,64}_PCREL

From: Xi Ruoyao
Date: Tue Jun 04 2024 - 11:08:33 EST


GAS <= 2.41 does not support generating R_LARCH_{32,64}_PCREL for
"label - ." and it generates R_LARCH_{ADD,SUB}{32,64} pairs instead.
objtool cannot handle R_LARCH_{ADD,SUB}{32,64} pair in __jump_table
(static key implementation) and etc. so it will produce some warnings.
This is causing the kernel CI systems to complain everywhere.

For GAS we can check if -mthin-add-sub option is available to know if
R_LARCH_{32,64}_PCREL are supported.

For Clang, we require Clang >= 18 and Clang >= 17 already supports
R_LARCH_{32,64}_PCREL, so we can always assume Clang is fine for
objtool.

Note that __jump_table is not generated by the compiler so
-fno-jump-table is completely irrelevant for this issue.
