hum, this wont work right? I think you should use ASSERT_OK_PTR in here
and ther similar places below

I think we don't need to change any test that's calling load_kallsyms,
it should use load_kallsyms and global ksyms data

the load_kallsyms_local would be used in tests that use load_kallsyms_refresh
and need updated ksyms data for bpf_testmod symbols

we just need to make sure that global ksyms initialization won't race, like with:

	+static pthread_mutex_t ksyms_mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
	+
	 int load_kallsyms(void)
	 {
	-       /*
	-        * This is called/used from multiplace places,
	-        * load symbols just once.
	-        */
	-       if (sym_cnt)
	-               return 0;
	-       return load_kallsyms_refresh();
	+       pthread_mutex_lock(&ksyms_mutex);
	+       if (!ksyms)
	+               ksyms = load_kallsyms_local();
	+       pthread_mutex_unlock(&ksyms_mutex);
	+       return ksyms ? 0 : 1;
	 }

it could be in separate patch perhaps, because currently there's the same race

do we need to have load_kallsyms_refresh_local?

we could have ksyms arg passed directly to load_kallsyms_local

  struct ksyms *load_kallsyms_local(struct ksyms *old);

it would return fresh ksyms and release old ksyms if it's passed as an argument

basically I mean just to drop load_kallsyms_local above and rename
load_kallsyms_refresh_local to load_kallsyms_local
