1842 Note that this option adds the OpenSSL development packages as a
1843 kernel build dependency so that the signing tool can use its crypto
1844 library.
1845
1846 !!!WARNING!!! If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the
1847 module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed. This includes the
1848 debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and
1849 inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.

1873 This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during
1874 signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel
1875 directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not
1876 possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check
1877 the signature on that module.

1915 Compresses kernel modules when 'make modules_install' is run; gzip or
1916 xz depending on "Compression algorithm" below.
1917
1918 module-init-tools MAY support gzip, and kmod MAY support gzip and xz.
1919
1920 Out-of-tree kernel modules installed using Kbuild will also be
1921 compressed upon installation.
1922
1923 Note: for modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient
1924 to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.
1925
1926 Note: This is fully compatible with signed modules.

1951 help
1952 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
1953 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
1954 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
1955 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
1956
1957 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
1958 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
1959 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
1960 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
1961
1962 If unsure, or if you need to build out-of-tree modules, say N.

1973 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
1974 cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
1975 with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised,
1976 it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
1977 and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.
