hi,
could you please write the whole failing code path/stack?

I haven't seens this code for some time, so I might be missing
something, but we currently create new maps/dso for the overlapping
parts like:

   [kernel]
   [mod1]
   [kernel].1
   [mod2]
   [kernel].2
   [mod3]
   [kernel].3

IIUC your change wont create new map/dso pairs and will dend up with:

   [kernel]
   [mod1]
   [mod2]
   [mod3]

and map_groups__fixup_end call will fix [kernel].end to [mod1].start

then what happens when you want to resolve symbol from [kernel].3 range ?

thanks,
jirka
