[PATCH 5.4 093/215] objtool: Add support for intra-function calls

From: Alexandre Chartre <alexandre.chartre@oracle.com>

commit 8aa8eb2a8f5b3305a95f39957dd2b715fa668e21 upstream.

Change objtool to support intra-function calls. On x86, an intra-function
call is represented in objtool as a push onto the stack (of the return
address), and a jump to the destination address. That way the stack
information is correctly updated and the call flow is still accurate.

+11. file.o: warning: unannotated intra-function call
+
+ This warning means that a direct call is done to a destination which
+ is not at the beginning of a function. If this is a legit call, you
+ can remove this warning by putting the ANNOTATE_INTRA_FUNCTION_CALL
+ directive right before the call.
+
+
If the error doesn't seem to make sense, it could be a bug in objtool.
Feel free to ask the objtool maintainer for help.
