Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/7] objtool: Add support for intra-function calls

Hi Alexandre,

I ran into the limitation of intra-function call for the arm64 support 
but didn't take the time to make a clean patch to support them properly.

Nice to see you've gone through that work :) .

I have to disagree a bit with that. The push onto the stack is true on 
x86, but other architectures might not have that (arm/arm64 have a link 
register that gets set by "bl" instructions and do not modify the stack).

I'm wondering, do we really need to annotate the intra_function_call and 
group the in a section?

Would it be a problem to consider all (static) call instructions with a 
destination that is not the start offset of a symbol to be an 
intra-function call (and set insn->intra_function_call and 
insn->jump_dest accordingly)?

Other than that the logic would stay the same.

Nit: This could be slightly confusing with INSN_CALL_DYNAMIC. Maybe just:
	"unsupported instruction for intra-function call " ?

As commented above, this should be arch dependent.
