Thank you for this new version!
I tested it and it works fine, particularly with the added information about
modules:
root@...amd64:~# grep ' name_show@' /proc/kallsyms | head -5
ffffffff810fa150 t name_show@...nel_irq_irqdesc_c_264
ffffffff815ddcd0 t name_show@...vers_pnp_card_c_186
ffffffff8171ccb0 t name_show@...vers_gpu_drm_i915_gt_sysfs_engines_c_26
ffffffff8189de00 t name_show@...vers_base_power_wakeup_stats_c_93
ffffffff81a3d140 t name_show@...vers_rtc_sysfs_c_26
I reviewed the code and only found nits.
