- Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For
- that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This
- option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
- some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
- encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
- using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
- this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
- wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
- mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
- you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
- your module is.

Kmemleak must track all the memory allocations to avoid
reporting false positives. Since memory may be allocated or
- freed before kmemleak is initialised, an early log buffer is
- used to store these actions. If kmemleak reports "early log
- buffer exceeded", please increase this value.
+ freed before kmemleak is fully initialised, use a static pool
+ of metadata objects to track such callbacks. After kmemleak is
+ fully initialised, this memory pool acts as an emergency one
+ if slab allocations fail.
