Why can't I find "init_task" symbol?

["chen free" <dits365@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, buddies,

I saw the "init_task" symbol is exported in kernel source:
=========================================
struct task_struct init_task = INIT_TASK(init_task);

EXPORT_SYMBOL(init_task);
=========================================
But when running, I can't find it in /proc/kallsyms.

Why?

thanks

BRs,
DiTS
