[bpf-next,v2,1/3] kallsyms: add space-efficient lookup in one module

Commit Message

Viktor Malik Nov. 30, 2022, 6:54 a.m. UTC

Until now, the only way to look up a symbol in kallsyms of a particular
module was using the "module_kallsyms_lookup_name" function with the
"module:symbol" string passed as a parameter. This syntax often requires
to build the parameter string on stack, needlessly wasting space.

This commit introduces function "kallsyms_lookup_name_in_module" which
takes the module and the symbol names as separate parameters and
therefore allows more space-efficient lookup.
