Masami Hiramatsu 26bbf45fc8 perf probe: Avoid setting probes on the same address for the same event
There is a case that several same-name symbols points to the same
address.  In that case, 'perf probe' returns an error.

E.g.

  # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -v -a "memcpy arg1=%di"
  probe-definition(0): memcpy arg1=%di
  symbol:memcpy file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)

  Failed to write event: File exists
    Error: Failed to add events. Reason: File exists (Code: -17)

You can see that perf tried to write completely the same probe
definition twice, which caused an error.

To fix this issue, check the symbol list and drop duplicated symbols
(which has the same symbol name and address) from it.

With this patch:

  # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di"
  Failed to find the location of the '%di' variable at this address.
   Perhaps it has been optimized out.
   Use -V with the --range option to show '%di' location range.
  Added new events:
    probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)
    probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_libc:memcpy -aR sleep 1

Committer notes:

Fix this build error on 32-bit arches by using PRIx64 for symbol->start,
that is an u64:

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.
