[ Upstream commit 5dfea6644d201bfeffaa7e0d79d62309856613b7 ]
When compiling with LLVM and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is set, there exist many objtool warnings "sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame".
For this special case, the related object file shows that there is no generated relocation section '.rela.discard.tablejump_annotate' for the table jump instruction jirl, thus objtool can not know that what is the actual destination address.
It needs to do something on the LLVM side to make sure that there is the relocation section '.rela.discard.tablejump_annotate' if LTO is enabled, but in order to maintain compatibility for the current LLVM compiler, this can be done in the kernel Makefile for now. Ensure it is aware of linker with LTO, '--loongarch-annotate-tablejump' needs to be passed via '-mllvm' to ld.lld.
Note that it should also pass the compiler option -mannotate-tablejump rather than only pass '-mllvm --loongarch-annotate-tablejump' to ld.lld if LTO is enabled, otherwise there are no jump info for some table jump instructions.
