[PATCH 13/17] dyndbg: move mod_name down from struct ddebug_table to _ddebug_info

Jim Cromie
2026-05-04T20:45:35Z

struct _ddebug_info already has most of dyndbg's info for a module;
push debug_table.mod_name down into it, finishing the encapsulation.

This allows refactoring several callchains, passing &_ddebug_info
instead of &ddebug_table, and hoisting the "&dt->info" deref up
instead of repeating it thru the callchans

ddebug_table contains a _ddebug_info member, so its users keep access
to mod_name, just now with "->info." added in.

In static ddebug_add_module(&di), reinforce the cursor-model by
dropping the modname arg, and setting di->mod_name at each caller.
