1873dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
1874dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	help
1875dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
1876dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
1877dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
1878dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.
1879dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
1880dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
1881dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
1882dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
1883dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.

1885f1cb637eSValdis Kletnieks	  If unsure, or if you need to build out-of-tree modules, say N.

18965f054e31SRusty Russell	  Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
18975f054e31SRusty Russell	  cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
189898a79d6aSRusty Russell	  with all 1s, and others with all 0s.  When they were centralised,
189998a79d6aSRusty Russell	  it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
