I don't actually have this patch in -mm. What I do have is the below,
which I shall now drop. All yours to deal with as you see fit!

Subject: kallsyms: print module name in %ps/S case when KALLSYMS is disabled

original:
With KALLSYMS
%pS %ps
[16.4200] hello_init+0x0/0x24 [crash] hello_init [crash]

Without KALLSYMS:
[16.2200] 0xbe200040 0xbe200040

With Patch (Without KALLSYMS:) load address + current offset [Module Name]

[13.5993] 0xbe200000+0x40 [crash] 0xbe200000+0x40 [crash]

It will help in better debugging and checking when KALLSYMS is disabled,
user will get information about module name and load address of module.

verified for arm64:
/ # insmod /crash.ko

[ 19.263556] 0xffff800000ec0000+0x38 [crash]

..
