Masahiro-san, I am writing some utility for internal kdump test with latest kernel, my purpose is to test the new introduced kernel feature. For automatical test, I see several config target could help, like olddefconfig, all*config. But for my purpose, I don't find a good way. For example, olddefconfig will let the now config item has default value, while some feature may default to "N"; allyesconfig will slow the compilation notably. But "all*config" has KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG help to customizing some config item, that is a good utility, but seems it can't be used in olddefconfig. All these things let me have 2 questions: 1. What would you suggest for my purpose? 2. allyesconfig, allmodconfig, randconfig seems useful for test kbuild, but what's the purpose of allnoconfig, alldefconfig? In others words, when people would need allnoconfig, alldefconfig? -- Sincerely, Cao jin -- 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
