Currently, there is an assembler message when generating kernel/bpf/core.o
under CONFIG_OBJTOOL with LoongArch compiler toolchain:
Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata..c_jump_table
This is because the section ".rodata..c_jump_table" should be readonly,
but there is a "W" (writable) part of the flags:
$ readelf -S kernel/bpf/core.o | grep -A 1 "rodata..c"
[34] .rodata..c_j[...] PROGBITS 0000000000000000 0000d2e0
0000000000000800 0000000000000000 WA 0 0 8
There is no above issue on x86 due to the generated section flag is only
"A" (allocatable). In order to silence the warning on LoongArch, specify
the attribute like ".rodata..c_jump_table,\"a\",@progbits #" explicitly,
then the section attribute of ".rodata..c_jump_table" must be readonly
in the kernel/bpf/core.o file.
Before:
$ objdump -h kernel/bpf/core.o | grep -A 1 "rodata..c"
21 .rodata..c_jump_table 00000800 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000d2e0 2**3
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA
After:
$ objdump -h kernel/bpf/core.o | grep -A 1 "rodata..c"
21 .rodata..c_jump_table 00000800 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000d2e0 2**3
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, DATA
By the way, AFAICT, maybe the root cause is related with the different
compiler behavior of various archs, so to some extent this change is a
workaround for LoongArch, and also there is no effect for x86 which is the
only port supported by objtool before LoongArch with this patch.

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.
