88b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	  - Re-run Kconfig when the compiler is updated
98b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	    The 'default' property references the environment variable,
108b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	    CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd.
118b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	    When the compiler is updated, Kconfig will be invoked.
128b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada
13f9c8bc46SBhaskar Chowdhury	  - Ensure full rebuild when the compiler is updated
14ce6ed1c4SMasahiro Yamada	    include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment
150e0345b7SAlexey Dobriyan	    line so fixdep adds include/config/CC_VERSION_TEXT into the
16ce6ed1c4SMasahiro Yamada	    auto-generated dependency. When the compiler is updated, syncconfig
17ce6ed1c4SMasahiro Yamada	    will touch it and then every file will be rebuilt.

216617652f42SRasmus Villemoes	help
216717652f42SRasmus Villemoes	  When kernel code requests a module, it does so by calling
216817652f42SRasmus Villemoes	  the "modprobe" userspace utility. This option allows you to
216917652f42SRasmus Villemoes	  set the path where that binary is found. This can be changed
217017652f42SRasmus Villemoes	  at runtime via the sysctl file
217117652f42SRasmus Villemoes	  /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe. Setting this to the empty string
217217652f42SRasmus Villemoes	  removes the kernel's ability to request modules (but
217317652f42SRasmus Villemoes	  userspace can still load modules explicitly).

2178dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	help
2179dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2180dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2181dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2182dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2183dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
2184dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2185dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2186dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2187dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.
