+Q: What "BPF_INTERNAL" symbol namespace is for?
+-----------------------------------------------
+A: Symbols exported as BPF_INTERNAL can only be used by BPF infrastructure
+like preload kernel modules with light skeleton. Most symbols outside
+of BPF_INTERNAL are not expected to be used by code outside of BPF either.
+Symbols may lack the designation because they predate the namespaces,
+or due to an oversight.

Stable submission
