You are the first user to use extern function encoding in BTF! Thanks!

Recently, we have discussion with Alexei and felt that putting extern 
function into datasec/var is not pretty. So we have the following llvm patch
    https://reviews.llvm.org/D71638
to put extern function as a BTF_KIND_FUNC, i.e.,
    BTF_KIND_FUNC
         .info (lower 2 bits) -> FUNC_STATIC, FUNC_GLOBAL, FUNC_EXTERN
         .type -> BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO

Alexei is working on kernel side to ensure this is handled properly 
before llvm patch can be merged.

Just let you know for the future potential BTF interface change.
