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 - using 526 WARN: multiple IDs found for 'sk_buff': 2744, 113958 - using 2744 We keep the lower ID for the given type instance and let the build continue. Also changing the 'nr' variable name to 'nr_types' to avoid confusion.

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.
