Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the production kernel configuration and the CONFIG_ANDROID_DEBUG_SYMBOLS and CONFIG_TRACE_GPU_MEM definitions; done means both options are disabled for production while remaining available for debugging or profiling when needed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  • CONFIG_ANDROID_DEBUG_SYMBOLS: Disable this option in production to reduce the kernel size and save memory, with no direct impact on performance or battery life during runtime.

  • CONFIG_TRACE_GPU_MEM: Disable this option if you don't need to profile or debug GPU memory management in real-time. This will have a positive impact on GPU performance and battery consumption, especially for graphically intensive applications.
