The title-module variants of sceKernelGetModuleList and
sceKernelGetModuleInfo, following shadPS4: the list leaves out system
libraries and the info call answers EPERM for one. A system library is
a loaded .prx image that is not a relinked title module.
NHL 27 (PPSA34063) imports both and fails to load without them.

sceKernelGetModuleInfoFromAddr found the size of the image's .eh_frame
on every call by walking all of its CIE and FDE records, checking each
against every PT_LOAD header. The guest libc's unwinder calls it for
each frame it unwinds, so a title that unwinds often walked its whole
.eh_frame hundreds of times per second.
The tables read from a .eh_frame_hdr are now kept per header address
and reused while the image stays loaded. The cache is dropped whenever
dl_iterate_phdr reports that an object was unloaded (dlpi_subs), so an
address reused by another image is read again.
guest_module_info queries a module twice and expects the same tables,
then unloads it, loads it again and expects tables of the same size at
the same offset in the new image.
PPSA16827 (Harmony's Odyssey), title screen, over 500 calls per second
counted under gdb, which slows the title: the process used 9269 CPU
samples per 10 s, 53.7% of them in this walk, and 3306 with this change,
3.2% in the lookup. The title still runs at 27 FPS; its frame rate is
limited elsewhere.
The bundled libc.prx of PPSA21703 calls sceKernelGetModuleInfoFromAddr
with a 0x1A8-byte stack buffer and never sets st_size, so the field holds
whatever was on the stack (983040 in one run) and the call threw. The
console cannot require the field on input. The full size is still
written back. The flags check is unchanged.

Fill takes either info struct, so sceKernelGetModuleInfo reports the
name and segments sceKernelGetModuleInfoFromAddr reports for the same
image, on Linux and Windows.
Read the module layout from the PE image that holds the address. A
relinked image reports its .elf sections as segments and the
eh_frame_hdr recorded in .ehmeta; any other image reports its sections
with memory access and its .ehfram section. The eh_frame_hdr and
eh_frame helpers are shared with the Linux path, and the guest module
info test now also runs on Windows.

A title's libc.prx calls it from __cxa_thread_atexit with flags 2 and
stores the returned module id in the destructor record. The 0x1A8-byte
info reports the name, id, TLS block, init and fini procedures,
eh_frame_hdr and eh_frame, and up to four load segments of the image
containing the address. The id is the loader handle when the image was
opened through sceKernelLoadStartModule and otherwise a stable id from
the same range. Unknown flags and st_size values throw.
