On powerpc, switch tables are relative, than means the address of the table is added to the value of the entry in order to get the pointed address: (r10 is the table address, r4 the index in the table)
lis r10,0 <== Load r10 with upper part of .rodata address R_PPC_ADDR16_HA .rodata addi r10,r10,0 <== Add lower part of .rodata address R_PPC_ADDR16_LO .rodata lwzx r8,r10,r4 <== Read table entry at r10 + r4 into r8 add r10,r8,r10 <== Add table address to read value mtctr r10 <== Save calculated address in CTR bctr <== Branch to address in CTR RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.rodata]: OFFSET TYPE VALUE 00000000 R_PPC_REL32 .text+0x0000054c 00000004 R_PPC_REL32 .text+0x000003d0 ... But for c_jump_tables it is not the case, they contain the pointed address directly: lis r28,0 <== Load r28 with upper .rodata..c_jump_table R_PPC_ADDR16_HA .rodata..c_jump_table addi r28,r28,0 <== Add lower part of .rodata..c_jump_table R_PPC_ADDR16_LO .rodata..c_jump_table lwzx r10,r28,r10 <== Read table entry at r10 + r28 into r10 mtctr r10 <== Save read value in CTR bctr <== Branch to address in CTR RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.rodata..c_jump_table]: OFFSET TYPE VALUE 00000000 R_PPC_ADDR32 .text+0x00000dc8 00000004 R_PPC_ADDR32 .text+0x00000dc8 ... Add support to objtool for relative tables, based on the relocation type which is R_PPC_REL32 for switch tables and R_PPC_ADDR32 for C jump tables. Do the comparison using R_ABS32 and R_ABS64 which are architecture agnostic. And use correct size for 'long' instead of hard coding a size of '8'.
