+       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.
