- select KALLSYMS
bool "module support"
+ help
+ This option enables support for loadable modules via insmod. Module
+ support is quite experimental at the moment. There is no convenient
+ way to compile modules and the list of exported symbols to actually

bool "kallsyms"
+ help
+ With Kallsyms enabled all symbols are compiled into the U-Boot image.
+ This is useful to print a nice backtrace when an exception occurs.
+ No architecture supports backtraces at the moment, so this option
+ is quite useless at the moment
