When compiling with LLVM and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is set, there exist many
objtool warnings "sibling call from callable instruction with modified
stack frame".
For this special case, the related object file shows that there is no
generated relocation section '.rela.discard.tablejump_annotate' for the
table jump instruction jirl, thus objtool can not know that what is the
actual destination address.
It needs to do something on the LLVM side to make sure that there is the
relocation section '.rela.discard.tablejump_annotate' if LTO is enabled,
but in order to maintain compatibility for the current LLVM compiler,
this can be done in the kernel Makefile for now. Ensure it is aware of
linker with LTO, '--loongarch-annotate-tablejump' needs to be passed via
'-mllvm' to ld.lld.
Before doing the above changes, it should handle the special case of the
relocation section '.rela.discard.tablejump_annotate' to get the correct
table size first, otherwise there are many objtool warnings and errors
if LTO is enabled.
There are many different rodata for each function if LTO is enabled, it
is necessary to enhance get_rodata_table_size_by_table_annotate().

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 reStructuredText 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.
