When retpolines and IBT are both disabled, the compiler is free to use
jump tables to optimize switch instructions. However, these are emitted
by Clang as absolute references into .rodata:
jmp *-0x7dfffe90(,%r9,8)
R_X86_64_32S .rodata+0x170
Given that this code will execute before that address in .rodata has even
been mapped, it is guaranteed to crash a SEV-SNP guest in a way that is
difficult to diagnose.
So disable jump tables when building this code. It would be better if we
could attach this annotation to the __head macro but this appears to be
impossible.
