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.
