commit b022f0c7e404887a7c5229788fc99eff9f9a80d5 upstream.
When a kprobe is attached to a function that's name is not unique (is static and shares the name with other functions in the kernel), the kprobe is attached to the first function it finds. This is a bug as the function that it is attaching to is not necessarily the one that the user wants to attach to.
Instead of blindly picking a function to attach to what is ambiguous, error with EADDRNOTAVAIL to let the user know that this function is not unique, and that the user must use another unique function with an address offset to get to the function they want to attach to.
