In my build, copy_signal is inlined to copy_process, unless I add noinline.
If I do add noinline, the issue will not reproduce.
I tried more combinations. The issue doesn't reproduce if I either
1) add noinline to copy_signal, so we are not patching the whole
copy_process function;
or
2) Switch compiler from gcc 14.2.1 to gcc 11.5.0.
So it appears something in gcc 14.2.1 is causing live patch to fail
for copy_process().
Thanks,
Song
