[PATCH v2 4/5] crypto: x86/crc32c - Use idiomatic relative jump table

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Thu Oct 10 2024 - 08:29:18 EST


From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

The original crc32c code used a place-relative jump table but with a
slightly awkward use of two separate symbols. To help objtool, this was
replaced with a bog-standard position dependent jump table call, which
was subsequently tweaked to use a RIP-relative reference to the table,
but still populate it with absolute 64-bit references.

Given that objtool will need to be taught about the jump table idiom
that compilers use when running with -fpie enabled, let's update the
jump table in the crc32c code once again to use this standard idiom,
where the jump table carries 32-bit references relative to the start of
the table, and the destination address can be obtained by adding the
two.
