Josh Triplett 0da1d4a0b9 x86: Add "make tinyconfig" to configure the tiniest possible kernel
Since commit 5d2acfc7b9 ("kconfig: make
allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT") in 3.15-rc1,
"make allnoconfig" disables every possible config option.

However, a few configuration options (CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE,
OPTIMIZE_INLINING) produce a smaller kernel when turned on, and a few
choices exist (compression, highmem, allocator) for which a non-default
option produces a smaller kernel.

Add a "tinyconfig" option, which starts from allnoconfig and then sets
these options to configure the tiniest possible kernel.  This provides a
better baseline for embedded systems or efforts to reduce kernel size.

Josh Triplett 3aaefce103 x86, platform, kconfig: move kvmconfig functionality to a helper
The new mergeconfig helper makes it easier to add other partial
configurations similar to kvmconfig.  Architecture-independent portions
of those partial configurations should go in
kernel/configs/${name}.config, and architecture-dependent portions
should go in arch/${arch}/configs/${name}.config.

Based on a patch by Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@suse.com>.
Originally-Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@suse.com>

Modified to make the helper name more general than just virtualization,
support architecture-dependent and architecture-independent partial
configurations, move the helper and kvmconfig to
scripts/kconfig/Makefile, and factor out more of the common file path.

Justin Lecher 544e7e548f kconfig: optionally use pkg-config to detect ncurses libs
When building ncurses with --with-termlib several symbols get moved from
libncurses.so to libtinfo.so. Thus when linking with libncurses.so, one
additionally needs to link with libtinfo.so.

The ncurses pkg-config module will be used to detect the necessary libs for
linking. If not available the old way of directly specifying libs will be
used.

Steven Rostedt 67d34a6a39 kconfig: Document oldnoconfig to what it really does
The make target 'oldnoconfig' is a misnomer. It doesn't set new symbols
to 'n', but instead sets it to their default values.

Unfortunately, assuming that it actually did this, broke ktest in some
of its tests. For example, the tests to create a minimum config and even
a config bisect, depends on removing various configs and using
oldnoconfig to get rid of other configs that may have depended on it.

But because some configs that it was trying to disable, were in fact
default enabled, this caused those configs to re-enable and corrupt the
test.

I thought about fixing oldnoconfig, but I'm afraid that people are
already dependent on its current behavior. Instead, I'm just updating
the documentation to state that it sets the new symbols to their default
values and not to 'n'.

Ideally, this would be called, 'olddefconfig' and we have an
'oldnoconfig' that actually disables the new symbols. But it's useless
for me now. If it changed, ktest would need to be consistent between
each version, and that would be to difficult to detect. I'll handle this
issue with ktest with other means.

Paul Bolle fa0ad6575f kconfig: adapt update-po-config to new UML layout
Commit 5c48b108 ("um: take arch/um/sys-x86 to arch/x86/um") broke the
make target update-po-config, as its symlink trick (again) fails.
(Previous breakage was fixed with commit bdc69ca4 ("kconfig: change
update-po-config to reflect new layout of arch/um").)

The new UML layout allows to drop the symlick trick entirely. And if,
one day, another architecture supports UML too, that should now work
without again breaking this make target.

Sam Ravnborg 7cf3d73b43 kconfig: add savedefconfig
savedefconfig will save a minimal config to a file
named "defconfig".

The config symbols are saved in the same order as
they appear in the menu structure so it should
be possible to map them to the relevant menus
if desired.

The implementation was tested against several minimal
configs for arm which was created using brute-force.

There was one regression related to default numbers
which had their valid range further limited by another symbol.

Sample:

config FOO
	int "foo"
	default 4

config BAR
	int "bar"
	range 0 FOO

If FOO is set to 3 then BAR cannot take a value higher than 3.
But the current implementation will set BAR equal to 4.

This is seldomly used and the final configuration is OK,
and the fix was non-trivial.
So it was documented in the code and left as is.

Aristeu Rozanski f0778c8c41 kconfig: introduce nonint_oldconfig and loose_nonint_oldconfig
This patch has been around for a long time in Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux kernels and it may be useful for others. The nonint_oldconfig target
will fail and print the unset config options while loose_nonint_oldconfig will
simply let the config option unset. They're useful in distro kernel packages
where the config files are built using a combination of smaller config files.

Arjan van de Ven wrote the initial nonint_config and Roland McGrath added the
loose_nonint_oldconfig.

Steven Rostedt 615f0833aa kconfig: Add LSMOD=file to override the lsmod for localmodconfig
Doing the following:

	make LSMOD=file localmodconfig

Will make the streamline-config code use the given file instead of
lsmod. If the file is an executable, it will execute it, otherwise
it will read it as text.

	make LSMOD=/my/local/path/lsmod localmodconfig

The above will execute the lsmod in /my/local/path instead of the
lsmods that may be located elsewhere.

	make LSMOD=embedded_board_lsmod localmodconfig

The above will read the "embedded_board_lsmod" as a text file. This
is useful if you are doing a cross compile and need to run the
config against modules that exist on an embedded device.

Note, if the LSMOD= file does is not a path, it will add the
path to the object directory. That is, the above example will look
for "embedded_board_lsmod" in the directory that the binary will
be built in (the O=dir directory).
