Identify function candidates that can possibly map to indirect calls

Objective

The goal is to enhance the kernel image exploration capability by addressing the challenge of indirect functions. Given the self-containing nature of the kernel code, indirect function calls need to resolve to specific functions within the kernel image or associated modules.

Current Status

• Kernel Image Exploration: The current exploration capability lacks efficient handling of indirect function calls within the kernel.
• Indirect Function Resolution: Resolving indirect function calls to their specific targets within the built image or related modules remains a challenge.

Problem Statement

• Indirect Function Resolution: Directing an indirect function call to its intended function within the kernel image or associated modules.
• Image and Module Integration: Integrating exploration capabilities with built image and module code for accurate resolution.

Proposed Solution

• Indirect Function Mapping: Develop mechanisms to map indirect function calls to their specific targets within the kernel image or associated modules.
• Integration with Built Image: Ensure seamless integration with the built image and associated modules for exploration.
