Currently, the argument for --defconfig is optional. If the argument
is not passed, the hard-coded default arch/$(ARCH)/defconfig is used.
It no longer happens in Linux since the last users of the default are
gone by the following commits:
- Commit f3e20ad67b ("s390: move arch/s390/defconfig to
arch/s390/configs/defconfig")
- Commit 986a13769c ("alpha: move arch/alpha/defconfig to

If you run "make" in a pristine source tree, currently Kbuild will

The top-level Makefile invokes "make syncconfig" when necessary.
Then, Kconfig displays the following message when .config is updated.

Currently, only syncconfig creates or updates include/config/auto.conf
and some other files. Other config targets create or update only the
.config file.
When you configure and build the kernel from a pristine source tree,
any config target is followed by syncconfig in the build stage since
include/config/auto.conf is missing.
We are moving compiler tests from Makefile to Kconfig. It means that
parsing Kconfig files will be more costly since Kconfig invokes the
compiler commands internally. Thus, we want to avoid invoking Kconfig
twice (one for *config to create the .config, and one for syncconfig
to synchronize the auto.conf). If auto.conf does not exist, we can
generate all configuration files in the first configuration stage,
which will save the syncconfig in the build stage.
Please note this should be done only when auto.conf is missing. If
*config blindly did this, time stamp files under include/config/ would
be unnecessarily touched, triggering unneeded rebuild of objects.
I assume a scenario like this:
1. You have a source tree that has already been built
with CONFIG_FOO disabled
2. Run "make menuconfig" to enable CONFIG_FOO
3. CONFIG_FOO turns out to be unnecessary.
Run "make menuconfig" again to disable CONFIG_FOO
4. Run "make"
In this case, include/config/foo.h should not be touched since there
is no change in CONFIG_FOO. The sync process should be delayed until
the user really attempts to build the kernel.
This commit has another motivation; I want to suppress the 'No such
file or directory' warning from the 'include' directive.
The top-level Makefile includes auto.conf with '-include' directive,
like this:
ifeq ($(dot-config),1)
-include include/config/auto.conf
endif
This looks strange because auto.conf is mandatory when dot-config is 1.
I guess only the reason of using '-include' is to suppress the warning
'include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory' when building
from a clean tree. However, this has a side-effect; Make considers
the files included by '-include' are optional. Hence, Make continues
to build even if it fails to generate include/config/auto.conf. I will
change this in the next commit, but the warning message is annoying.
(At least, kbuild test robot reports it as a regression.)
With this commit, Kconfig will generate all configuration files together
with the .config and I guess it is a solution good enough to suppress
the warning.
Note:
GNU Make 4.2 or later does not display the warning from the 'include'
directive if include files are successfully generated. See GNU Make
commit 87a5f98d248f ("[SV 102] Don't show unnecessary include file
errors.") However, older GNU Make versions are still widely used.

syncconfig updates the .config only when sym_change_count > 0, i.e.
any change in config symbols has been detected.
Not only symbols but also comments are contained in the .config file.
If only comments are updated, they are not fed back to the .config,
then the stale comments are left-over. Of course, this is just a
matter of comments, but why not fix it.
I see some scenarios where this happens.
Scenario A:
1. You have a source tree that has already been configured.
2. Linus increments the version number in the top-level Makefile
(i.e. he commits a new release)
3. You pull it, and run 'make'
4. syncconfig is invoked because the environment variable,
KERNELVERSION is updated, but the .config is not updated since
no config symbol is changed.
5. The .config file contains a kernel version in the top line:
# Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
# Linux/arm64 4.18.0-rc2 Kernel Configuration
... which points to a previous version.
Scenario B:
1. You have a source tree that has already been configured.
2. You upgrade the compiler, but it still has the same version number.
This may happen if you regularly build the latest compiler from
the source code.
3. You run 'make'
4. syncconfig is invoked because the environment variable,
CC_VERSION_TEXT is updated, but the .config is not updated since
no config symbol is changed.
5. The .config file contains the version string of the compiler:
#
# Compiler: aarch64-linux-gcc (GCC) 9.0.0 20180628 (experimental)
#
... which carries the information of the old compiler.
If KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE is set, syncconfig is not allowed to update
the .config file. Otherwise, it is fine to update it regardless of
sym_change_count.

We at Red Hat/Fedora have generally tried to have a per file breakdown of
every config option we set. This makes it easy for us to add new options
when they are exposed and keep a changelog of why they were set.
A Fedora example is here:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/kernel.git/tree/configs/fedora/generic
Using various merge scripts, we build up a config file and run it through
'make listnewconfig' and 'make oldnoconfig'. The idea is to print out new
config options that haven't been manually set and use the default until
a patch is posted to set it properly.
To speed things up, it would be nice to make it easier to generate a
patch to post the default setting. The output of 'make listnewconfig'
has two issues that limit us:
- it doesn't provide the default value
- it doesn't provide the new 'choice' options that get flagged in
'oldconfig'
This patch extends 'listnewconfig' to address the above two issues.
This allows us to run a script
make listnewconfig | rhconfig-tool -o patches; git send-email patches/
The output of 'make listnewconfig':
CONFIG_NET_EMATCH_IPT
CONFIG_IPVLAN
CONFIG_ICE
CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_NI
CONFIG_IEEE802154_MCR20A
CONFIG_IR_IMON_DECODER
CONFIG_IR_IMON_RAW

Historically, "make oldconfig" has changed its behavior several times,
quieter or louder. (I attached the history below.) Currently, it is
not as quiet as it should be. This commit addresses it.
Test Case
---------
---------------------------(Kconfig)----------------------------
menu "menu"
config FOO
bool "foo"
menu "sub menu"
config BAR
bool "bar"
endmenu
endmenu
menu "sibling menu"
config BAZ
bool "baz"
endmenu
----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------(.config)----------------------------
CONFIG_BAR=y
CONFIG_BAZ=y
----------------------------------------------------------------
With the Kconfig and .config above, "make silentoldconfig" and
"make oldconfig" work differently, like follows:
$ make silentoldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* menu
*
foo (FOO) [N/y/?] (NEW) y
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* menu
*
foo (FOO) [N/y/?] (NEW) y
*
* sub menu
*
bar (BAR) [Y/n/?] y
#
# configuration written to .config
#
Both hide "sibling node" since it is irrelevant. The difference is
that silentoldconfig hides "sub menu" whereas oldconfig does not.
The behavior of silentoldconfig is preferred since the "sub menu"
does not contain any new symbol.
The root cause is in conf(). There are three input modes that can
call conf(); oldaskconfig, oldconfig, and silentoldconfig.
Everytime conf() encounters a menu entry, it calls check_conf() to
check if it contains new symbols. If no new symbol is found, the
menu is just skipped.
Currently, this happens only when input_mode == silentoldconfig.
The oldaskconfig enters into the check_conf() loop as silentoldconfig,
so oldaskconfig works likewise for the second loop or later, but it
never happens for oldconfig. So, irrelevant sub-menus are shown for
oldconfig.
Change the test condition to "input_mode != oldaskconfig". This is
false only for the first loop of oldaskconfig; it must ask the user
all symbols, so no need to call check_conf().
History of oldconfig
--------------------
[0] Originally, "make oldconfig" was as loud as "make config" (It
showed the entire .config file)
[1] Commit cd9140e1e7 ("kconfig: make oldconfig is now less chatty")
made oldconfig quieter, but it was still less quieter than
silentoldconfig. (oldconfig did not hide sub-menus)
[2] Commit 204c96f609 ("kconfig: fix silentoldconfig") changed
the input_mode of oldconfig to "ask_silent" from "ask_new".
So, oldconfig really became as quiet as silentoldconfig.
(oldconfig hided irrelevant sub-menus)
[3] Commit 4062f1a4c0 ("kconfig: use long options in conf") made
oldconfig as loud as [0] due to misconversion.
[4] Commit 1482834971 ("kconfig: fix make oldconfig") addressed
the misconversion of [3], but it made oldconfig quieter only to
the same level as [1], not [2].
This commit is restoring the behavior of [2].

check_conf() traverses the menu tree, but it is completely no-op for
olddefconfig because the following if-else block does nothing.
if (input_mode == listnewconfig) {

} else if (input_mode != olddefconfig) {

As the help message says, olddefconfig automatically sets new symbols
to their default value. There is no room for manual intervention.
So, calling check_conf() for olddefconfig is odd in the first place.

However, this broke the test for user input of the form 'N?', because
when kconfig selects the single valid option the input is zero-length
and the test will read the byte before the input buffer. If this
happens to contain '?' (as it will in a mips build on Debian unstable
