Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* When UBSAN is enabled in an s390x kernel configuration, kpatch-
build can fail to find matching symbols in the vmlinux symbol table
(see attached example_livepatch.patch). This was discovered in both
Jammy 5.15 and Kinetic 5.19 kernels, where UBSAN was first enabled
(releases up to Focal did not enable UBSAN). See attached kpatch-build
console output (output.log) and kpatch-build log (build.log).
* Disabling UBAAN in s390x kernel configurations resolved the issue
for both Jammy 5.15 and Kinetic 5.19. Possibly this could be fixed in
kpatch/kpatch-build to continue to enable UBSAN while still allowing
Livepatch functionality.
[ Test Plan ]
* Use kpatch-build testcases to build and load a fs/proc/meminfo.c
Livepatch on s390x kernel (see attached example_livepatch.patch). This
should be successful.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* A fix in kpatch/kpatch-build to properly handle UBSAN objects
shouldn't yield any regressions. If UBSAN is disabled to ultimately
get past this issue, it could lead to undefined behavior not being
caught.
