See if the following patch (untested) helps. It does not fix the /proc/kallsyms lookup, that requires a separate patch. But it should exclude the undef symbols from module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and thus also from klp_find_object_symbol(). That seems like it would work. But wouldn't it be more robust if we don't store the SHN_UNDEF symbols to start with? Really it's only the SHN_LIVEPATCH symbols that we need to keep, right? Hm, didn't we have a reason for preserving the original symbol tables? It's not that we're storing the undef symbols on purpose, it's just that in the case of a livepatch module we keep *all* the symbols. IIRC, the original reasoning was that we needed to keep the original symtab indices in place, otherwise apply_relocate() (which uses the original symbol index encoded in the relocation) won't work. Selectively copying only SHN_LIVEPATCH symbols when building the module's symbol table will unfortunately mess the symbol indices up :/ Under these restrictions, it just seemed easier to make kallsyms ignore undef symbols.

But it should > exclude the undef symbols from module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and > thus also from klp_find_object_symbol(). That seems like it would work. But wouldn't it be more robust if we don't store the SHN_UNDEF symbols to start with? Really it's only the SHN_LIVEPATCH symbols that we need to keep, right?
