kallsyms does not consider SYMBOL_PREFIX of C.
Consequently do not work in architecture using prefix character (h8300, v850) really.
Because I can want to use this, I made a patch.
Please comment.

maybe something like:
char *sname;
sname = s->sym + 1;
if (symbol_prefix_char && *(s->sym + 1) == symbol_prefix_char)
sname++;
would avoid all the "(s->sym + offset)" below, turning them to just "sname".
I know that it was "(s->sym + 1)" before, so its really not your fault,
but you could take this opportunity to clean that up, too.

This should only trigger if there are no symbols at all, or if there are
some symbols that are considered invalid, and do not go into the final
result.
Maybe we should just do a return here instead of exit, so that even if
this happens, kallsyms will still produce an empty result, that will at
least allow the kernel to compile.
It should give the error output to warn the user that there is something
fishy, nevertheless. Maybe even a bigger message, since this should not
happen at all, and if this triggers it means that something is seriously
wrong.

and so is this.

At least the patch seems to not affect architectures that don't use the
"--symbol-prefix" option, so it should be harmless for most.
Anyway, appart from the few comments, it has my acknowledge.

Not surely possible normally.
But raise SEGV if there is not a check. I do not think that this is good action.

I think of the same thread which are an issue with it being worked if do not appoint "--symbol-prefix".
Use CONFIG_ARCH and may judge it, but will it be good to refer to include/linux here?
