Hi, Tao
Thank you for the update.

                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This could overwrite the existing syment if (sp && (spn->value <
sp->value)), right?

Can the above mod_symname_hash_remove() be simplified into the
following implementation? The code may become more readable, and I
didn't see any obvious performance issues as below.

+static void
+mod_symname_hash_remove(struct syment *spn)
+{
+       int index;
+       struct syment *sp;
+
+       if (!spn)
+               return;
+
+       index = SYMNAME_HASH_INDEX(spn->name);
+       sp = st->mod_symname_hash[index];
+
+       while (sp) {
+               if (sp == spn) {
+                       sp = spn->name_hash_next;
+                       spn->name_hash_next = NULL;
+                       return;
+               }
+               sp = sp->name_hash_next;
+       }
+}
