2128dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	bool "Trim unused exported kernel symbols"
2129dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
2130dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	help
2131dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2132dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2133dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2134dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2135dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
2136dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2137dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2138dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2139dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.
2140dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
2141f1cb637eSValdis Kletnieks	  If unsure, or if you need to build out-of-tree modules, say N.

21525f054e31SRusty Russell	  Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
21535f054e31SRusty Russell	  cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
215498a79d6aSRusty Russell	  with all 1s, and others with all 0s.  When they were centralised,
215598a79d6aSRusty Russell	  it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
