how to find Linux module path

Question

in the linux, lsmod lists a lot of modules. but how can we find where those module loaded from. for some modules,linux command "modprobe -l" shows a path but some are not.
edited i also tried "find" and "locate". both of them lists all kind of versions

locate fake

Sorry if the answer comes a bit late but I just stumbled across this particular question myself today...

To minimize manual labor here is my listing of the paths curretly loaded modules are loaded from:

awk '{ print $1 }' /proc/modules | xargs modinfo -n | sort

I needed this to create a minimal kernel image containg only the modules i really need. Unfortunately lsmod only displays the name field which does not alwys match the modules# file name (e.g phy-am335x-control.ko and phy_am335x_control). I hope this helps.
