Thanks for the report! Looking at percpu-defs.h it looks like the
existence of such variables requires either

#if defined(ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU) ||
defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU)

...

#define DEFINE_PER_CPU_SECTION(type, name, sec)                         \
        __PCPU_DUMMY_ATTRS char __pcpu_scope_##name;                    \
        extern __PCPU_DUMMY_ATTRS char __pcpu_unique_##name;            \
        __PCPU_DUMMY_ATTRS char __pcpu_unique_##name;                   \
        extern __PCPU_ATTRS(sec) __typeof__(type) name;                 \
        __PCPU_ATTRS(sec) __weak __typeof__(type) name


I'm guessing your .config has CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU, or are
you building on s390/alpha?

I've reproduced this on bpf-next with CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU=y,
pahole v1.28 and gcc-12; I see ~900 __pcpu_ variables and get the same
BTF errors since multipe __pcpu_ vars share the offset 0.

A simple workaround in dwarves - and I verified this resolved the issue
for me - would be

diff --git a/btf_encoder.c b/btf_encoder.c
index 3754884..4a1799a 100644

+++ b/btf_encoder.c

        int i;

...but I'd like us to understand further why variables which were
supposed to be in a .discard section end up being encoded as there may
be other problems lurking here aside from this one. More soon hopefully...
