Dynamic symbols in shared library may have the same name, for example:
$ nm -D /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep rwlock_wrlock
000000000009b1a0 T __pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
000000000009b1a0 T pthread_rwlock_wrlock@@GLIBC_2.34
000000000009b1a0 T pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
$ readelf -W --dyn-syms /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep rwlock_wrlock
706:
000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 __pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
2568:
000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 pthread_rwlock_wrlock@@GLIBC_2.34
2571:
000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
Currently, users can't attach a uprobe to pthread_rwlock_wrlock because
there are two symbols named pthread_rwlock_wrlock and both are global
bind. And libbpf considers it as a conflict.
Since both of them are at the same offset we could accept one of them
harmlessly. Note that we already does this in elf_resolve_syms_offsets.
