No, -fno-jump-table does not disable __jump_table. __jump_table is from
static key implementation in arch/loongarch/include/asm/jump_label.h,
not generated by the compiler.
And the problem of __jump_table is exact with -mno-thin-add-sub. It
reads:
#define JUMP_TABLE_ENTRY \
".pushsection __jump_table, \"aw\" \n\t" \
".align 3 \n\t" \
".long 1b - ., %l[l_yes] - . \n\t" \
".quad %0 - . \n\t" \
".popsection \n\t"
The "1b - ." and "%0 - ." things produce different relocs with -mno-
thin-add-sub and -mthin-add-sub. The objtool can only handle the relocs
from -mthin-add-sub here.
