Do you mean 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210123225928.z5hkmaw6qjs2gu5g@google.com/T/#u 
?

Unfortunately, it did not lead anywhere. I think that '-z unique-symbol' 
option should work fine as long as the live patching is concerned. Maybe I 
misunderstood but your concerns mentioned at the blog do not apply. The 
stability is not an issue for us since we (KLP) always work with already 
built and fixed kernel. And(at least) GCC already uses number suffices for 
IPA clones and it has not been a problem anywhere.

Am I wrong?

Thanks

Miroslav
