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

Have you considered
#make ctags
as doing the full source index is usually a great way to research such
a question.
No idea why it's not in /proc/kallysms.  A better question might be
"how does stuff get into /proc/kallsyms?".
