When the .config file is missing, 'make config', 'make menuconfig', etc.
uses a file listed in DEFCONFIG_LIST, if found, as base configuration.
Ususally, /boot/config-$(uname -r) exists, and is used as default.
However, when you are cross-compiling the kernel, it does not make
sense to use /boot/config-* on the build host. It should default to
arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG).
UML previously did not use DEFCONFIG_LIST at all, but it should be
able to use arch/um/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG) as a base config file.

allnoconfig_y is an ugly hack that sets a symbol to 'y' by allnoconfig.
allnoconfig does not mean a minimal set of CONFIG options because a
bunch of prompts are hidden by 'if EMBEDDED' or 'if EXPERT', but I do
not like to hack Kconfig this way.
Use the pre-existing feature, KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, to provide a one
liner config fragment. CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y is still forced when
allnoconfig is invoked as a part of tinyconfig.
No change in the .config file produced by 'make tinyconfig'.
The output of 'make allnoconfig' will be changed; we will get
CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n because allnoconfig literally sets all symbols to n.

This is a partial revert of commit 2a86f66121 ("kbuild: use

Now that the reference to $(DEFCONFIG_LIST) was removed from

"defconfig_list" is a weird option that defines a static symbol that
declares the list of base config files in case the .config does not
exist yet.
This is quite different from other normal symbols; we just abused the
"string" type and the "default" properties to list out the input files.
They must be fixed values since these are searched for and loaded in
the parse stage.
It is an ugly hack, and should not exist in the first place. Providing
this feature as an environment variable is a saner approach.

scripts/kconfig/conf.c line 39 defines the default of input_mode as

Some targets (localyesconfig, localmodconfig, defconfig) hide the
command running, but the others do not.
Users know which Kconfig flavor they are running, so it is OK to hide
the command. Add $(Q) to all commands consistently. If you want to see
the full command running, pass V=1 from the command line.
syncconfig is the exceptional case, which occurs without explicit
command invocation by the user. Display the Kbuild-style log for it.
The ugly bare log will go away.

Regenerate qconf.moc when the moc command is changed.
This also allows 'make mrproper' to clean it up. Previously, it was
not cleaned up because 'clean-files += qconf.moc' was missing.
Now 'make mrproper' correctly cleans it up because files listed in

kvmconfig' is a shorthand for kvm_guest.config to save 7 character typing.
xenconfig' is a shorthand for xen.config to save 1 character typing.
There is nothing more than that.
There are more files in kernel/configs/, so it is not maintainable
to wire-up every config fragment to the Kconfig Makefile. Hence,
we should not do this at all.
These will be removed after Linux 5.10. Meanwhile, the following

Most of the Kconfig commands (except defconfig and all*config) read
the .config file as a base set of CONFIG options.
When it does not exist, the files in DEFCONFIG_LIST are searched in
this order and loaded if found.
I do not see much sense in the last two lines in DEFCONFIG_LIST.
[1] ARCH_DEFCONFIG
The entry for DEFCONFIG_LIST is guarded by 'depends on !UML'. So, the
ARCH_DEFCONFIG definition in arch/x86/um/Kconfig is meaningless.
arch/{sh,sparc,x86}/Kconfig define ARCH_DEFCONFIG depending on 32 or
64 bit variant symbols. This is a little bit strange; ARCH_DEFCONFIG
should be a fixed string because the base config file is loaded before
the symbol evaluation stage.
Using KBUILD_DEFCONFIG makes more sense because it is fixed before
Kconfig is invoked. Fortunately, arch/{sh,sparc,x86}/Makefile define it
in the same way, and it works as expected. Hence, replace ARCH_DEFCONFIG
with "arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG)".
[2] arch/$(ARCH)/defconfig
This file path is no longer valid. The defconfig files are always located
in the arch configs/ directories.
$ find arch -name defconfig | sort
arch/alpha/configs/defconfig
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig
arch/csky/configs/defconfig
arch/nds32/configs/defconfig
arch/riscv/configs/defconfig
arch/s390/configs/defconfig
arch/unicore32/configs/defconfig
The path arch/*/configs/defconfig is already covered by
"arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG)". So, this file path is
not necessary.
I moved the default KBUILD_DEFCONFIG to the top Makefile. Otherwise,
the 7 architectures listed above would end up with endless loop of
syncconfig.

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.
It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.
This commit renames like follows:
always -> always-y
hostprogs-y -> hostprogs
So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:
always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
...
hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)
I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.
The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

Since kernel configs provided by syzbot are close to "make allyesconfig",
it takes long time to rebuild. This is especially waste of time when we
need to rebuild for many times (e.g. doing manual printk() inspection,
bisect operations).
We can save time if we can exclude modules which are irrelevant to each
problem. But "make localmodconfig" cannot exclude modules which are built
into vmlinux because /sbin/lsmod output is used as the source of modules.
Therefore, this patch adds "make yes2modconfig" which converts from =y
to =m if possible. After confirming that the interested problem is still
reproducible, we can try "make localmodconfig" (and/or manually tune
based on "Modules linked in:" line) in order to exclude modules which are
irrelevant to the interested problem. While we are at it, this patch also
adds "make mod2yesconfig" which converts from =m to =y in case someone
wants to convert from =m to =y after "make localmodconfig".

make listnewconfig will list the individual options that need to be set.
This is useful but there's no easy way to get the help text associated
with the options at the same time. Introduce a new targe
'make helpnewconfig' which lists the full help text of all the
new options as well. This makes it easier to automatically generate
changes that are easy for humans to review. This command also adds
markers between each option for easier parsing.

util.c exists both in scripts/kconfig/ and scripts/kconfig/lxdialog.
Prior to commit 54b8ae66ae ("kbuild: change *FLAGS_<basetarget>.o
to take the path relative to $(obj)"), Kbuild could not pass different
flags to source files with the same basename. Now that this issue
was solved, you can split util.c out of parser.y and compile them
independently of each other.

Kbuild provides per-file compiler flag addition/removal:
CFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
CFLAGS_REMOVE_<basetarget>.o
AFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
AFLAGS_REMOVE_<basetarget>.o
CPPFLAGS_<basetarget>.lds
HOSTCFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
HOSTCXXFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
The <basetarget> is the filename of the target with its directory and
suffix stripped.
This syntax comes into a trouble when two files with the same basename
appear in one Makefile, for example:
obj-y += foo.o
obj-y += dir/foo.o
CFLAGS_foo.o := <some-flags>
Here, the <some-flags> applies to both foo.o and dir/foo.o
The real world problem is:
scripts/kconfig/util.c
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/util.c
Both files are compiled into scripts/kconfig/mconf, but only the
latter should be given with the ncurses flags.
It is more sensible to use the relative path to the Makefile, like this:
obj-y += foo.o
CFLAGS_foo.o := <some-flags>
obj-y += dir/foo.o
CFLAGS_dir/foo.o := <other-flags>
At first, I attempted to replace $(basetarget) with $*. The $* variable
is replaced with the stem ('%') part in a pattern rule. This works with
most of cases, but does not for explicit rules.
For example, arch/ia64/lib/Makefile reuses rule_as_o_S in its own
explicit rules, so $* will be empty, resulting in ignoring the per-file
AFLAGS.
I introduced a new variable, target-stem, which can be used also from
explicit rules.

Until recently, if KBUILD_DEFCONFIG was not set by the arch Makefile,
the default path arch/*/defconfig was used.
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

Let's set arch/*/configs/defconfig as a new default. This saves
KBUILD_DEFCONFIG for some architectures.
