1896dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	help
1897dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
1898dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
1899dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
1900dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.
1901dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
1902dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
1903dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
1904dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
1905dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.
