Andrii Nakryiko efdd3eb801 libbpf: Accommodate DWARF/compiler bug with duplicated structs
According to [0], compilers sometimes might produce duplicate DWARF
definitions for exactly the same struct/union within the same
compilation unit (CU). We've had similar issues with identical arrays
and handled them with a similar workaround in 6b6e6b1d09 ("libbpf:
Accomodate DWARF/compiler bug with duplicated identical arrays"). Do the
same for struct/union by ensuring that two structs/unions are exactly
the same, down to the integer values of field referenced type IDs.

Solving this more generically (allowing referenced types to be
equivalent, but using different type IDs, all within a single CU)
requires a huge complexity increase to handle many-to-many mappings
between canonidal and candidate type graphs. Before we invest in that,
let's see if this approach handles all the instances of this issue in
practice. Thankfully it's pretty rare, it seems.

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.
