Browse Source 
Architectures that are capable can select
HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION to enable selection of that
option (as an EXPERT kernel option).

Select this if the architecture wants to do dead code and
data elimination with the linker by compiling with
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections and linking with
--gc-sections.
This requires that the arch annotates or otherwise protects
its external entry points from being discarded. Linker scripts
must also merge .text.*, .data.*, and .bss.* correctly into
output sections. Care must be taken not to pull in unrelated
sections (e.g., '.text.init'). Typically '.' in section names
is used to distinguish them from label names / C identifiers.

This can reduce on disk and in-memory size of the kernel
code and static data, particularly for small configs and
on small systems. This has the possibility of introducing
silently broken kernel if the required annotations are not
present. This option is not well tested yet, so use at your
own risk.
