[PATCH 1/2] kallsyms: unify seq and start_pos fields of struct sym_entry

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Sat Jul 20 2024 - 12:21:50 EST


The struct sym_entry uses the 'seq' and 'start_pos' fields to remember
the index in the symbol table. They serve the same purpose and are not
used simultaneously. Unify them.
