So the bug is that when there's more than one switch statement in a function, objtool interprets all the switch jump tables as a single table. If the targets of one jump table assume a stack frame and the targets of another one don't, you'll see frame pointer warnings like those above. It *is* interesting that both functions which triggered this bug -- rtlwifi_rate_mapping() and cik_tiling_mode_table_init() -- are cases where the code is way too complex and can be simplified. But, unless we want to institute an "only one switch statement allowed per function" policy, I think I should still fix the bug. Because I don't really have the clout to tell people "you need to clean up your code because my tool is buggy." :-) -- Josh
