Until this point all symbols found in kernel mode (usually using Symvers file), were strong (with externalized variables) or none (which copied the symbols to the closure). Now clang-extract checks is the symbol is present on vmlinux, meaning that the symbol is weak externalized, meaning the the symbol will be always present.
