mainlining shenanigans
9ec71c1cdb
btf_dedup_is_equiv() used to compare btf_type->info fields, before doing
kind-specific equivalence check. This comparsion implicitly verified
that candidate and canonical types are of the same kind. With enum fwd
resolution logic this check couldn't be done generically anymore, as for
enums info contains vlen, which differs between enum fwd and
fully-defined enum, so this check was subsumed by kind-specific
equivalence checks.
This change caused btf_dedup_is_equiv() to let through VOID vs other
types check to reach switch, which was never meant to be handing VOID
kind, as VOID kind is always pre-resolved to itself and is only
equivalent to itself, which is checked early in btf_dedup_is_equiv().
This change adds back BTF kind equality check in place of more generic
btf_type->info check, still defering further kind-specific checks to
a per-kind switch.

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.
