    LoongArch: Switch to relative exception tables · 3d36f429
    Youling Tang authored
    Similar to other architectures such as arm64, x86, riscv and so on, use
    offsets relative to the exception table entry values rather than their
    absolute addresses for both the exception location and the fixup.
    
    However, LoongArch label difference because it will actually produce two
    relocations, a pair of R_LARCH_ADD32 and R_LARCH_SUB32. Take simple code
    below for example:
    
    $ cat test_ex_table.S
    .section .text
    1:
            nop
    .section __ex_table,"a"
            .balign 4
            .long (1b - .)
    .previous
    
    $ loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -c test_ex_table.S
    $ loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-readelf -Wr test_ex_table.o
    
    Relocation section '.rela__ex_table' at offset 0x100 contains 2 entries:
        Offset            Info             Type         Symbol's Value   Symbol's Name + Addend
    0000000000000000 0000000600000032 R_LARCH_ADD32    0000000000000000  .L1^B1 + 0
    0000000000000000 0000000500000037 R_LARCH_SUB32    0000000000000000  L0^A + 0
    
    The modpost will complain the R_LARCH_SUB32 relocation, so we need to
    patch modpost.c to skip this relocation for .rela__ex_table section.
