15617660a6fdSKees Cook	  merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
15627660a6fdSKees Cook	  This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
15637660a6fdSKees Cook	  overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control

1869dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
1870dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.

1872dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
1873dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
1874dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
1875dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.

18885f054e31SRusty Russell	  Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
18895f054e31SRusty Russell	  cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
189098a79d6aSRusty Russell	  with all 1s, and others with all 0s.  When they were centralised,
189198a79d6aSRusty Russell	  it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
