I recently added a new test, designed to catch symbols with duplicate
addresses in our ELF symbol sort sections:
6518331 Eliminate duplicate addresses from ON ELF symbol sort sections
This test is catching duplicate symbols that result when a DTrace USDT probe
is placed into a non-global function, as detailed in:
6565300 ld should exclude hidden USDT provider probe symbols from
symbol sort sections
That fix will not be available immediately. To prevent nightly builds from seeing
unnecessary noise out of check_rtime in the meantime, a small adjustment to
check_rtime should be made so that it will recognize USDT probe symbols and
skip them. These symbols do not reflect programmer error, so this will not
reduce the quality of our builds.
