kernel: only strip proc for small flash devices
Currently, you are not able to get statistics about IPv4 and IPv6 usage. This information can be collected via the snmp and snmp6. However, in the current state this interface is disabled as you can read in the "902-debloat_proc.patch": "Strip non-essential /proc functionality to reduce code size" Tools like netstat use the snmp/6 interface to collect interface statistics. Some prometheus exporters also mention this: - prometheus-collectors/netstat.lua - prometheus-collectors/snmp6 (still a PR) - collectd/snmp6 (still a PR) PRs: - https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pull/3789 - https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/14158 Instead of enabling it as default for all devices we condition it default y if SMALL_FLASH A test shows it needs around 16 kiB.
