[ Upstream commit 139560e8b973402140cafeb68c656c1374bd4c20 ]
When there is only one function of the same name, old_sympos of 0 and 1
are logically identical. Match them in klp_find_func().
This is to avoid a corner case with different toolchain behavior.
In this specific issue, two versions of kpatch-build were used to
build livepatch for the same kernel. One assigns old_sympos == 0 for
unique local functions, the other assigns old_sympos == 1 for unique
local functions. Both versions work fine by themselves. (PS: This
behavior change was introduced in a downstream version of kpatch-build.
This change does not exist in upstream kpatch-build.)
However, during livepatch upgrade (with the replace flag set) from a
patch built with one version of kpatch-build to the same fix built with
the other version of kpatch-build, livepatching fails with errors like:
[ 14.218706] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename 'xxx/somefunc,1'

This happens because klp_find_func() thinks somefunc with old_sympos==0
is not the same as somefunc with old_sympos==1, and klp_add_object_nops
adds another xxx/func,1 to the list of functions to patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
