1904dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	help
1905dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
1906dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
1907dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
1908dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.
1909dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
1910dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
1911dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
1912dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
1913dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.
