64323b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez

21803d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	help
21813d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
21823d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
21833d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
21843d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
21853d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
21863d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this
21873d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module.

2195efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger.  For
2196efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed.  This

2198efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you

2200efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  using the right API.  (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
2201efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
2202efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  wrong interface to use).  If you really need the symbol, please send a
2203efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
2204efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for

2215dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre
2216dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2217dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2218dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2219dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.
