We can't assume inlined symbols with the same name are equal, because
their address range may be different. This will cause the symbols with
different addresses be shadowed when adding to the hist entry, and lead
to ERANGE error when checking the symbol address during sample parse,
the addr should be within the range of [sym.start, sym.end].
The error message is like: "0x36aea60 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68".
The second parameter of symbol__new() is the length of the fake symbol
for the inline frame, which is the subtraction of the end and start
address of base_sym.

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.
