objtool: Fix switch-table detection
commit 99ce7962d52d1948ad6f2785e308d48e76e0a6ef upstream. Linus reported that GCC-7.3 generated a switch-table construct that confused objtool. It turns out that, in particular due to KASAN, it is possible to have unrelated .rodata usage in between the .rodata setup for the switch-table and the following indirect jump. The simple linear reverse search from the indirect jump would hit upon the KASAN .rodata usage first and fail to find a switch_table, resulting in a spurious 'sibling call with modified stack frame' warning. Fix this by creating a 'jump-stack' which we can 'unwind' during reversal, thereby skipping over much of the in-between code. This is not fool proof by any means, but is sufficient to make the known cases work. Future work would be to construct more comprehensive flow analysis code.
