Merge branch 'bpf-static-linker-fix-linking-duplicate-extern-functions'



Eric Long via says:

====================
BPF static linker: fix linking duplicate extern functions

Currently, if `bpftool gen object` tries to link two objects that
contains the same extern function prototype, libbpf will try to get
their (non-existent) size by calling bpf__resolve_size like extern
variables and fail with:

	libbpf: global 'whatever': failed to resolve size of underlying type: -22

This should not be the case, and this series adds conditions to update
size only when the BTF kind is not function.

Fixes: a4634922 ("libbpf: Add linker extern resolution support for functions and global variables")
