# A Clang switch jump table travels with the function it belongs to.
#
# For a dense enough switch Clang emits the targets as a table in
# .rodata..Lswitch.table.<function>, named after the function but not part of
# it.  klp diff has to associate the two: the patched function indexes into
# that table, so a clone which does not bring it along jumps through whatever
# the kernel's copy holds -- which, when the patch changed the switch, is the
# wrong set of targets.
#
# That is an indirect jump to a stale address, not a missing symbol, so nothing
# reports it at build or load time.
#
# objtool has no switch-specific code: the table is carried by the general
# mechanism for data a cloned function references.  So this is a regression
# test on that mechanism reaching a shape it is easy to get wrong, not a guard
# on a particular line -- making the table uncorrelated, the nearest sabotage,
# does not change the outcome.
#
# Covers the same ground as corpus/x86_64-llvm-switch-rodata/
# clang-switch-rodata-assoc in Joe Lawrence's klp-build unit test corpus.
