Yes, there is a linear search through all the kallsyms in kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), but there are something like 70k symbols on my machine (that is, way less than 1M). 23 seconds are somewhat unexpected. If it is a problem, can we fix kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and replace the linear search with something better? All users would benefit...
