Since kernel version 5.4.250 LTS, there has been an issue with the kernel live patching feature becoming unavailable. When compiling the sample code for kernel live patching, the following message is displayed when enabled:

livepatch: klp_check_stack: kworker/u256:6:23490 has an unreliable stack

After investigation, it was found that this is due to objtool not supporting intra-function calls, resulting in incorrect orc entry generation.

This patchset adds support for intra-function calls, allowing the kernel live patching feature to work correctly.
