Hi Luis, Steve,

Firstly, apologies for the delay.

I believe I found the issue:

diff --git a/kernel/module/kallsyms.c b/kernel/module/kallsyms.c

                        dst[ndst++].st_name = s - mod->core_kallsyms.strtab;
-                       s += strscpy(s, &mod->kallsyms->strtab[src[i].st_name],

                                     KSYM_NAME_LEN) + 1;
                }
        }

That being said, I need to examine the precise differences between each
implementation; albeit, I believe we can revert this particular change. I
will send a patch for a wider discussion shortly.

 - Before

      $ grep -a -E '^[0-9a-f]{16} [^a-z].*\[virtio_console\]' /proc/kallsyms
      0000000000000000  notifier_del_vio      [virtio_console]
      0000000000000000  show_port_name        [virtio_console]
      0000000000000000  port_debugfs_open     [virtio_console]

 - After the above modification

      $ grep -a -E '^[0-9a-f]{16} [^a-z].*\[virtio_console\]' /proc/kallsyms
      $ grep -a -m 3 -E '^[0-9a-f]{16} [a-z].*\[virtio_console\]' /proc/kallsyms
      0000000000000000 t notifier_del_vio     [virtio_console]
      0000000000000000 t show_port_name       [virtio_console]
      0000000000000000 t port_debugfs_open    [virtio_console]


Kind regards,
