  	  The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
  	  Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
  	  in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
  	  Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
  	  Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
  
  	  If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
  	  kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
  	  version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
  	  supplied by Christian Ludwig)
  
  	  High compression options are mostly useful for users, who
  	  are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
  	  size matters less.
  
  	  If in doubt, select 'gzip'

  	  XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
  	  BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
  	  code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
  	  comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
  	  filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
  	  will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
  
  	  The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
  	  speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
  	  and LZO. Compression is slow.

  	  Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and

  	  exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
  	  and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if

  	  lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
  	  e.g. backtraces.
  
  	  The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and

  	  with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
  	  contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
  	  buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
  	  so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

  	   Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
  	   OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
  	   sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only in very rare
  	   cases (e.g., when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (e.g.,
  	   names of variables from the data sections, etc).
  
  	   This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
  	   image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
  	   size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
  	   something like this).
  
  	   Say N unless you really need all symbols.

  	  providing a huge performance boost.  If this option is not enabled,
  	  then the flag will be ignored.
  
  	  This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
  	  ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
  
  	  Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be

  	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
  
  	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make

  	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
  	  this).

  	  module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed.  This includes the
  	  debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and
  	  inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.

  config TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS

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