Take a look at 'perf kallsyms' a simple toy cmd that exercises the APIs
you need:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/commit/?h=perf/core&id=25c92235676d2655e3f31ffe02bd4355d838e5e9

Basically:

  struct machine *machine = machine__new_kallsyms();
  struct map *map;
  struct symbol *symbol = machine__find_kernel_function_by_name(machine, symbol_name, &map);

  Then you have symbol->{addr,end,name,etc} and map->dso->{long,short}_name

  $ perf kallsyms e1000_xmit_frame usb_stor_set_xfer_buf
  e1000_xmit_frame: [e1000e] /lib/modules/4.9.0+/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko 0xffffffffc046fc10-0xffffffffc0470bb0 (0x19c80-0x1ac20)
  usb_stor_set_xfer_buf: [usb_storage] /lib/modules/4.9.0+/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko 0xffffffffc057aea0-0xffffffffc057af19 (0xf10-0xf89)
