Side-note: in `get_function_bounds()`, I see `kallsyms_lookup()` being

`kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()` be used instead, thus avoiding the

I'm not familiar with the kallsyms infrastructure, but looking over the
implementations of kallsyms_lookup() and kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()
it looks like the existing kallsyms_lookup()
handles an extra case over kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()?
kallsyms_lookup_buildid() (the implementation of kallsyms_lookup()) has
/* See if it's in a module or a BPF JITed image. */
ret = module_address_lookup(addr, symbolsize, offset,
modname, modbuildid, namebuf);
if (!ret)
ret = bpf_address_lookup(addr, symbolsize,
offset, modname, namebuf);
if (!ret)
ret = ftrace_mod_address_lookup(addr, symbolsize,
offset, modname, namebuf);
while kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() is missing the ftrace case
return !!module_address_lookup(addr, symbolsize, offset,
NULL, NULL, namebuf) ||
!!__bpf_address_lookup(addr, symbolsize, offset, namebuf);
Might this be a concern for xmon?
