I hit the same issue, will send a patch. The other symbol is typically some
random correct symbol because gcc detects the conflict on a pair of symbols.

The problem is that placing const correctly is too difficult, the correct line
would be

static const char *const rapl_domain_names[NR_RAPL_DOMAINS] __initconst = {

This needs

That's new, but can be fixed by adding __visible or asmlinkage to these symbols
I guess it's from the recent entry* restructuring.

I'll do an updated tree later.

Everything that's called from assembler in C needs to be marked like this. It's
fairly mechanic.
