I checked the relocation is is correct 00000000000001d0 R_RISCV_CALL
   ip_rt_ioctl
The assembly from objdump also shows a pair of auipc + jalr.

1d0:       00000097                auipc   ra,0x0
1d4:       000080e7                jalr    ra # 1d0 <.LBE348+0x4>

I don't understand why the toolchain is complaining about relocation
error only when
CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is enabled.

Are we seeing some subtle toolchain bug ?
