I'll add this to the set of regression tests I use with pahole:

[acme@five vfs_gettattr.multiple.btf.entries.jolsa]$ bpftool btf dump file vmlinux | grep -w FUNC | cut -d\' -f2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head
      3 __x64_sys_userfaultfd
      3 __x64_sys_timerfd_settime
      3 __x64_sys_timerfd_gettime
      3 __x64_sys_timerfd_create
      3 __x64_sys_syslog
      3 __x64_sys_sysfs
      3 __x64_sys_swapon
      3 __x64_sys_swapoff
      3 __x64_sys_socketpair
      3 __x64_sys_socket
[acme@five vfs_gettattr.multiple.btf.entries.jolsa]$ pfunct -F btf vmlinux | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head
      3 __x64_sys_userfaultfd
      3 __x64_sys_timerfd_settime
      3 __x64_sys_timerfd_gettime
      3 __x64_sys_timerfd_create
      3 __x64_sys_syslog
      3 __x64_sys_sysfs
      3 __x64_sys_swapon
      3 __x64_sys_swapoff
      3 __x64_sys_socketpair
      3 __x64_sys_socket
[acme@five vfs_gettattr.multiple.btf.entries.jolsa]$

I.e. the output of those tools need to match and all functions need to
appear only once.

I'll also use pfunct with -F dwarf to get the same results, probably
will add these to the 'btfdiff' tool that is in the pahole git repo.
