No, please read below.

Would you mean the case func_name is on the specific module?
If 'mod' is specified, module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol() only loops on
symbols in the module names 'mod'.
int module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(const char *modname,
int (*fn)(void *, const char *, unsigned long),
void *data)
{
struct module *mod;
unsigned int i;
int ret = 0;
mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
list_for_each_entry(mod, &modules, list) {
struct mod_kallsyms *kallsyms;
if (mod->state == MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED)
continue;
if (modname && strcmp(modname, mod->name))
continue;
...
So with above change, 'if mod is not specified, search the symbols in kernel
and all modules. If mod is sepecified, search the symbol on the specific
module'.
Thus, "if func_name is only part of the module named mod", the
module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol() will count the 'func_name' in 'mod' module
correctly.
Thank you,
Thank you,
