charset="UTF-8" libbpf parses all of /proc/kallsyms to resolve typeless ksyms. Use KALLSYMS_QUERY_BY_NAME instead: exact names, plus ".llvm." prefix matches. Ambiguous matches at different addresses fail the load. A missing strong extern still fails and a missing weak extern is 0, without a text scan. On any other error (e.g. -ENOTTY on older kernels, or -EPERM), fall back to the text parser.
