From: Artem Savkov <asav...@redhat.com> While building a gcc-consprop patch from integration tests gcc8 would place a __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime.constprop.18.cold.27 symbol into .text.unlikely.__timekeeping_inject_sleeptime.constprop.18 section. Because section name doesn't have the '.cold.27' suffix this symbol fails is_bundleable() check while still being bundleable and later exits early in kpatch_rename_mangled_functions() without renaming the corresponding patched function. All of this results in a create-diff-object errror:
ERROR: timekeeping.o: symbol changed sections: __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime.constprop.18.cold.27 /home/asavkov/dev/kpatch/kpatch-build/create-diff-object: unreconcilable difference Fix by ignoring .cold.* name suffix in is_bundleable() for.text.unlikely sections.
