2167efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger.  For
2168efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed.  This
2169efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
2170efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
2171efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
2172efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  using the right API.  (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
2173efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
2174efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  wrong interface to use).  If you really need the symbol, please send a
2175efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
2176efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
2177efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  your module is.

2183dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2184dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2185dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2186dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2187dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
2188dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2189dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2190dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2191dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.
