2147dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
2148dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	help
2149dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2150dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2151dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2152dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2153dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
2154dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2155dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2156dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2157dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.
