We currently use scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh only in MAKEALL. Linux has been using it inside Kbuild as well to derive new defconfigs from the existing ones that differ only by a few options, e.g. to enable virtualization or to switch endianness. This is useful for us in barebox as well to cut down on the number of configs and to avoid bitrot in the less used ones, e.g. a lot of AT91 configs can probably be replaced with two lines in mach-at91/Makefile each this way and e.g. x86 defconfig could have a virtio.defconfig for use with Qemu. This series adds the infrastructure for this and some example defconfig targets that are derived from existing defconfigs: - ARCH=mips qemu-malta_defconfig -> qemu-malta(64)?(el)_defconfig - ARCH=sandbox sandbox_defconfig -> (headless|noshell|lockdown)_defconfig Configs added with the new mechanism are automatically discoverable by CI and so this should increase build coverage with minimal development overhead.
