The listunknownconfig option reads old .config and lists
all unrecognized symbols. This is especially useful for
continuous kernel uprevs when some symbols can be either
removed or renamed between kernel releases (which can go
unnoticed otherwise).
A recent real-life example of such a symbol rename
that quietly disabled some drivers after kernel uprev
is MFD_RK808 rename.
Example:
Suppose old .config has the following two options which
were removed from the recent kernel:
$ cat .config
CONFIG_DISABLE_BUGS=y
Running `make listunknownconfig` produces the following
list of unrecognized symbols:
.config:6:warning: unknown symbol: DISABLE_BUGS
.config:7:warning: unknown unset symbol: ENABLE_WINAPI
