Description
Currently, our project does not handle parsing of /proc/kallsyms and ELF file sections and symbol tables. These components are crucial for analyzing kernel symbols and program symbols, performance analysis, and static analysis.
If needed, I can submit a related PR for this functionality.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the project's existing procfs parsing entry points and the requested inputs: /proc/kallsyms plus ELF sections and symbol tables. Define the supported formats and returned data before implementation; done means both kernel symbols and ELF symbol information can be parsed and covered by tests.
