CONFIG_LINKER_GENERIC_SECTIONS_PRESENT_AT_BOOT

Generic sections are present at boot

Type: bool

Help

When disabled, the linker sections other than the boot and
pinned sections will be marked as not present in the page
tables. This allows kernel to pull in data pages on demand
as required by current execution context when demand paging
is enabled. There is no need to load all code and data into
memory at once.

If unsure, say Y.

Default
