You are correct, on both counts. This was a remnant of the previous 1-based looping.
Here's the fix I have pending.
Thanks! Rusty.
module: fix one byte kallsyms overallocation.
Since we fixed our kallsyms strtab expansion code in 59ef28b1f14899b10d6b2682c7057ca00a9a3f47 (module: fix out-by-one error in kallsyms) we now loop from zero, so we don't need to add an extra byte for the first empty string.
