This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled kconfig: fix failing to generate auto.conf to the 5.16-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kconfig-fix-failing-to-generate-auto.conf.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.16 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6207d6ff477414add5af63b8fd1a277099a50fdf Author: Jing Leng <jleng@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 11 17:27:36 2022 +0800 kconfig: fix failing to generate auto.conf [ Upstream commit 1b9e740a81f91ae338b29ed70455719804957b80 ] When the KCONFIG_AUTOCONFIG is specified (e.g. export \ KCONFIG_AUTOCONFIG=output/config/auto.conf), the directory of include/config/ will not be created, so kconfig can't create deps files in it and auto.conf can't be generated.
