If TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, all unneeded exported symbols are made unexported. Two-pass build of the kernel is done to find out which symbols are needed based on a configuration. This effectively complicates things for out-of-tree modules. Livepatch exports functions to (un)register and enable/disable a live patch. The only in-tree module which uses these functions is a sample in samples/livepatch/. If the sample is disabled, the functions are trimmed and out-of-tree live patches cannot be built. Note that live patches are intended to be built out-of-tree.

Say Y here if you want to support kernel live patching.
|
|
This option has no runtime impact until a kernel "patch"
|
|
module uses the interface provided by this option to register
|
|
a patch, causing calls to patched functions to be redirected
|
|
to new function code contained in the patch module.
