objtool: Support new GCC 6 switch jump table pattern
This fixes some false positive objtool warnings seen with gcc 6.1.1: kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o: warning: objtool: ring_buffer_read_page()+0x36c: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer arch/x86/kernel/reboot.o: warning: objtool: native_machine_emergency_restart()+0x139: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.o: warning: objtool: xz_dec_run()+0xc2: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer With GCC 6, a new code pattern is sometimes used to access a switch statement jump table in .rodata, which objtool doesn't yet recognize: mov [rodata addr],%reg1 ... some instructions ... jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8) Add support for detecting that pattern. The detection code is rather crude, but it's still effective at weeding out false positives and catching real warnings. It can be refined later once objtool starts reading DWARF CFI.
