Clang has the ability to create a switch table which is not a jump table, but is rather a table of string pointers. This confuses objtool, because it sees the relocations for the string pointers and assumes they're part of a jump table: drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.o: warning: objtool: sata_dwc_bmdma_start_by_tag()+0x3a2: can't find switch jump table net/ceph/messenger.o: warning: objtool: ceph_con_workfn()+0x47c: can't find switch jump table Make objtool's find_jump_table() smart enough to distinguish between a switch jump table (which has relocations to text addresses in the same function as the original instruction) and other anonymous rodata (which may have relocations to elsewhere).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
