3241da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
3251da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the

21733d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	help
21743d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
21753d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
21763d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
21773d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
21783d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
21793d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this
21803d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module.

2188efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger.  For
2189efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed.  This

2191efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you

2193efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  using the right API.  (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
2194efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
2195efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  wrong interface to use).  If you really need the symbol, please send a
2196efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
2197efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for

2208dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
2209dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2210dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2211dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
