[BPF] Avoid relocation for jumptable entries (#166301)
Currently, the jump table entry contains labels only. For example, the
following is one example:
BPF.JT.0.0:
.quad LBB0_1
.quad LBB0_2
.size BPF.JT.0.0, 16
Since the jump table entry contains a label, the relocation is necessary
so linker can resolve the label value. The relocation looks like below:
Relocation section '.rel.jumptables' at offset 0x160 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name
0000000000000000 0000000200000002 R_BPF_64_ABS64 0000000000000000 .text
0000000000000008 0000000200000002 R_BPF_64_ABS64 0000000000000000 .text
You can see that the symbol value is 0 which makes .rel.jumptables not
very useful.
Instead of having the label itself in the jump table entry, use the
difference of label and the section begin symbol. This can avoid the
relocation and the eventual jumptable entries in object file remains the
same as before.
