[PATCH bpf-next] tools/resolve_btfids: Warn when having multiple IDs for single type

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-01-05 15:41:01
Also in: netdev
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

The kernel image can contain multiple types (structs/unions)
with the same name. This causes distinct type hierarchies in
BTF data and makes resolve_btfids fail with error like:

  BTFIDS  vmlinux
FAILED unresolved symbol udp6_sock

as reported by Qais Yousef [1].

This change adds warning when multiple types of the same name
are detected:

  BTFIDS  vmlinux
WARN: multiple IDs found for 'file' (526, 113351)
WARN: multiple IDs found for 'sk_buff' (2744, 113958)

We keep the lower ID for the given type instance and let the
build continue.
