It looks like it has a few issues, can you verify the below patch?
I don't think it make sense to resolve the EIP unless it's a module,
you'd liekly need the system.map/vmlinux anyways to get to the right
function symbol name.
Furthmore it would be nice to print also for the stack trace, in case
there are intra-modules, infact I guess I would prefer to keep trace of
all the modules affected and to print the start address of each module
affected instead of resolving to the nearest symbol, since as for the
kernel .text, also the module .text isn't likely to be always exported.
In short I don't like very much your approch but for now the below will
be ok, and it will work right most of the time (since from such symbol
we'll be able to deduce the rest and it's likely all the modules
addresses in the stack trace cames from the same module .o, but it's not
guaranteed)
But as said above long term the right thing to do is to print the start
address of each module affected in the trace (we just check for that
during the oops to discard bogus values from the stack trace), not to
try to resolve anything in the kernel. So I will reject the current
patch as soon as the right way is implemented (then of course ksymoops
will have to learn the right way too, instead of guessing from the
current unreliable /proc/ksyms after reboot).
