When update the latest upstream gcc and binutils which enables linker
relaxation by default, it generates more objtool warnings on LoongArch,
like this:
init/main.o: warning: objtool: unexpected relocation symbol type in .rela.discard.unreachable
We can see that the reloc sym name is local label instead of section
in relocation section '.rela.discard.unreachable', in this case, the
reloc sym type is STT_NOTYPE instead of STT_SECTION. Let us check it
to not return -1, then use reloc->sym->offset instead of reloc addend
which is 0 to find the corresponding instruction. At the same time,
replace the variable "addend" with "offset" to reflect the reality.
Here are some detailed info:
[fedora@linux 6.6.test]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 14.0.0 20231009 (experimental)
[fedora@linux 6.6.test]$ as --version
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.41.50.20231009
[fedora@linux 6.6.test]$ readelf -r init/main.o | grep -A 2 "rela.discard.unreachable"
Relocation section '.rela.discard.unreachable' at offset 0x4b70 contains 1 entry:
Offset Info Type Sym. Value Sym. Name + Addend
000000000000 00de00000063 R_LARCH_32_PCREL 0000000000000228 .L466^B1 + 0
