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 The new output of 'make listnewconfig': CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=n CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO=n CONFIG_NET_EMATCH_IPT=n CONFIG_IPVLAN=n CONFIG_ICE=n CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_NI=y CONFIG_IEEE802154_MCR20A=n CONFIG_IR_IMON_DECODER=n CONFIG_IR_IMON_RAW=n Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@xxxxxxxxxx> --- V2: roll listnewdefconfig changes into listnewconfig (sorry for delay, thought there was a logic error with this) --- scripts/kconfig/conf.c | 14 ++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/conf.c b/scripts/kconfig/conf.c index 4e08121a35fb..283eeedaa4fa 100644 --- a/scripts/kconfig/conf.c +++ b/scripts/kconfig/conf.c @@ -422,8 +422,18 @@ static void check_conf(struct menu *menu) if (sym_is_changable(sym) || (sym_is_choice(sym) && sym_get_tristate_value(sym) == yes)) { if (input_mode == listnewconfig) { - if (sym->name && !sym_is_choice_value(sym)) { - printf("%s%s\n", CONFIG_, sym->name); + if (sym->name) { + const char *str; + + if (sym->type == S_STRING) { + str = sym_get_string_value(sym); + str = sym_escape_string_value(str); + printf("%s%s=%s\n", CONFIG_, sym->name, str); + free((void *)str); + } else { + str = sym_get_string_value(sym); + printf("%s%s=%s\n", CONFIG_, sym->name, str); + } } } else { if (!conf_cnt++) -- 2.14.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
