![]() A C jump table (such as the one used by the BPF interpreter) is a const global array of absolute code addresses, and this means that the actual values in the table may not be known until the kernel is booted (e.g., when using KASLR or when the kernel VA space is sized dynamically). When using PIE codegen, the compiler will default to placing such const global objects in .data.rel.ro (which is annotated as writable), rather than .rodata (which is annotated as read-only). As C jump tables are explicitly emitted into .rodata, this used to result in warnings for LoongArch builds (which uses PIE codegen for the entire kernel) like Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata..c_jump_table due to the fact that the explicitly specified .rodata section inherited the read-write annotation that the compiler uses for such objects when using PIE codegen. This warning was suppressed by explicitly adding the read-only annotation to the __attribute__((section(""))) string, by commit |
