Sometimes it is useful to preserve batches of configs when making localmodconfig. For example, I usually don't want any usb and fs modules to be disabled. Now we can do it by: $ make LMC_KEEP="drivers/usb;fs" localmodconfig Signed-off-by: Changbin Du <changbin.du@xxxxxxxxx> --- v4: fix typo. v3: rename LOCALMODCONFIG_PRESERVE to shorter LMC_KEEP. v2: fix typo in documentation.
