+/*
+ * find_switch_table() - Given a dynamic jump, find the switch jump table in
+ * .rodata associated with it.
+ *
+ * There are 3 basic patterns:
+ *
+ * 1. jmpq *[rodata addr](,%reg,8)
+ *
+ * This is the most common case by far. It jumps to an address in a simple
+ * jump table which is stored in .rodata.
+ *
+ * 2. jmpq *[rodata addr](%rip)
+ *
+ * This is caused by a rare GCC quirk, currently only seen in three driver
+ * functions in the kernel, only with certain obscure non-distro configs.
+ *
+ * As part of an optimization, GCC makes a copy of an existing switch jump
+ * table, modifies it, and then hard-codes the jump (albeit with an indirect
+ * jump) to use a single entry in the table. The rest of the jump table and
+ * some of its jump targets remain as dead code.
+ *
+ * In such a case we can just crudely ignore all unreachable instruction
+ * warnings for the entire object file. Ideally we would just ignore them
+ * for the function, but that would require redesigning the code quite a
+ * bit. And honestly that's just not worth doing: unreachable instruction
+ * warnings are of questionable value anyway, and this is such a rare issue.
+ *
+ * 3. mov [rodata addr],%reg1
+ * ... some instructions ...
+ * jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8)
+ *
+ * This is a fairly uncommon pattern which is new for GCC 6. As of this
+ * writing, there are 11 occurrences of it in the allmodconfig kernel.
+ *
+ * TODO: Once we have DWARF CFI and smarter instruction decoding logic,
+ * ensure the same register is used in the mov and jump instructions.
