 * of the previous one.
 *
 * The widest level that yields a 1:1 match wins.  Narrower levels are only
 * needed when the wider level is ambiguous (count > 1).
 *
 * Candidates are pre-filtered by maybe_same_file(), which narrows most
 * local symbols to their own TU.  For example, 19 different static
 * type_show() functions across vmlinux.o each see only one candidate after
 * pre-filtering, so they match immediately at Level 1.
 *
 * Level 1 (name): Works when the demangled name is unique after
 * pre-filtering.  Handles most symbols: unique globals like copy_signal(),
 * or per-TU locals like pcspkr_probe().
 *
 * Level 2 (scope): Filters by local-vs-global (TU-local-vs-not).  Example:
 * parse_header() exists as both a static and a global function.  Level 1
 * sees both (same demangled name), but Level 2 separates them by scope.
 *
 * Level 3 (file): Strict file matching via same_file(), which rejects scope
 * changes.  Example: LLVM-promoted foo.llvm.12345 (global, no FILE symbol)
 * vs genuine local foo (has FILE symbol).  Both are TU-local so Level 2
 * can't distinguish them, but same_file() rejects the pair because one has
 * a file association and the other doesn't.
 *
 * Level 4 (checksum): Distinguishes by function checksum.  Example:
 * usb_devnode.llvm.AAA and usb_devnode.llvm.BBB are two LLVM-promoted
 * functions from different TUs with the same demangled name.  After a TU
 * change, the .llvm. hashes change but the functions themselves may be
 * unchanged.  Level 4 matches each to the patched candidate with the
 * same checksum.

 * Special sections (alternatives, etc) are basically arrays of structs.
 * For all the special sections, create a symbol for each struct entry.  This
 * is a bit cumbersome, but it makes the extracting of the individual entries
 * much more straightforward.
 *
 * There are three ways to identify the entry sizes for a special section:
 *
 * 1) ELF section header sh_entsize: Ideally this would be used almost
 *    everywhere.  But unfortunately the toolchains make it difficult.  The
 *    assembler .[push]section directive syntax only takes entsize when
 *    combined with SHF_MERGE.  But Clang disallows combining SHF_MERGE with
 *    SHF_WRITE.  And some special sections do need to be writable.
 *
 *    Another place this wouldn't work is .altinstr_replacement, whose entries
 *    don't have a fixed size.
 *
 * 2) ANNOTATE_DATA_SPECIAL: This is a lightweight objtool annotation which
 *    points to the beginning of each entry.  The size of the entry is then
 *    inferred by the location of the subsequent annotation (or end of
 *    section).
 *
 * 3) Simple array of pointers: If the special section is just a basic array of
 *    pointers, the entry size can be inferred by the number of relocations.
 *    No annotations needed.
 *
 * Note I also tried to create per-entry symbols at the time of creation, in
 * the original [inline] asm.  Unfortunately, creating uniquely named symbols
 * is trickier than one might think, especially with Clang inline asm.  I
 * eventually just gave up trying to make that work, in favor of using
 * ANNOTATE_DATA_SPECIAL and creating the symbols here after the fact.
