hi,
sorry for delayed answer, I did not notice this until Stephen's email
about merge issue with recent bpf change [1]

we have use case for iterating all modules and their symbols when we
want to resolve passed addresses for tracing
we don't have 'modname' that we could pass, we need to iterate all modules
so perhaps this could be made optional like with passing NULL for modname?

we need 'struct module *' argument in the callback as well because we are
taking the module reference if we trace function in it, so it wont get
unloaded
please let me know if I should do the change or can help in any way
thanks,
jirka
