On 30f3bb09778de64 it fails the same way:

    start
    kallsyms_lookup_name() for kallsyms_test_func_static failed:
addr=8dbc, expect 60308
    kallsyms_lookup_name() for kallsyms_test_func failed: addr=8dbc,
expect 60318
    kallsyms_lookup_name() for kallsyms_test_func_weak failed:
addr=8dbc, expect 6031a
    kallsyms_lookup_name() for vmalloc failed: addr=8dbc, expect bdc88
    kallsyms_lookup_name() for vfree failed: addr=8dbc, expect bd6de
    kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() for kallsyms_test_func_static
failed: count=24890, addr=1ee870, expect 60308
    kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() for kallsyms_test_func failed:
count=24890, addr=1ee870, expect 60318
    kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() for kallsyms_test_func_weak
failed: count=24890, addr=1ee870, expect 6031a
    kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() for vmalloc failed: count=24890,
addr=1ee870, expect bdc88
    kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() for vfree failed: count=24890,
addr=1ee870, expect bd6de
    abort

Yes it is. And 32-bit values are aligned to only 2 bytes.
