This patch is not correct, symbols that are not core symbols will be
dropped right after this piece of code. So NACK.

symtab and strtab will point to vfreed memory after free_copy(&info)
near end of load_module().

There is the reason why we should update num_symtab, symtab and strtab
before non-core-symbols are dropped.

I think you must mean the error path in load_module(), yeah, probably.

But you need to check if this patch misses other thing, like
the other functions which are called after add_kallsyms() inside load_module().
According to my eyes, this seems fine (at least on x86), so

init section is dropped *after* these value are update, which is correct.

Again, you need to describe what you are trying to fix in your changelog.
Please resend it with a proper changelog.

Thanks.

No. There is a free_copy(&info) at the end of normal path of load_module().
