For EXPORT_SYMBOL from C files, <linux/export.h> defines __ksymtab_* as local symbols. For EXPORT_SYMBOL from assembly, in contrast, <asm-generic/export.h> produces globally-visible __ksymtab_* symbols due to this .globl directive. I do not understand why this must be global. It still works without this .globl directive.
