From: Kristen Carlson Accardi <kristen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> If any type of function granular randomization is enabled, the sympos algorithm will fail, as it will be impossible to resolve symbols when there are duplicates using the previous symbol position. Override the value of sympos to always be zero if fgkaslr is enabled for either the core kernel or modules, forcing the algorithm to require that only unique symbols are allowed to be patched.
