Thanks for the fix! The change above works ; maybe having
anything less than iter->pos_mod_end marked as a "CORE/MOD " symbol
might be worth tweaking, but that's a minor thing.

before:

  CLNG-BPF [test_maps] bpf_iter_ksym.bpf.o
progs/bpf_iter_ksym.c:62:13: error: no member named 'pos_arch_end' in
'struct kallsym_iter'
        if (!iter->pos_arch_end || iter->pos_arch_end > iter->pos)
             ~~~~  ^
progs/bpf_iter_ksym.c:62:35: error: no member named 'pos_arch_end' in
'struct kallsym_iter'
        if (!iter->pos_arch_end || iter->pos_arch_end > iter->pos)
                                   ~~~~  ^
2 errors generated.

after the above is applied, bpf selftests build and iter ksym test
passes:

$ sudo ./test_progs -t bpf_iter
...
#12/37   bpf_iter/ksym:OK
...
Summary: 3/39 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED
