Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: use KBUILD_DEFCONFIG as the fallback for DEFCONFIG_LIST
Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2020 00:45:02 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200216154502.26478-1-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)

Most of the Kconfig commands (except defconfig and all*config) read the
.config file as a base set of CONFIG options.

When it does not exist, the files in DEFCONFIG_LIST are searched in this
order and loaded if found.

I do not see much sense in the last two entries in DEFCONFIG_LIST.

[1] ARCH_DEFCONFIG

The entry for DEFCONFIG_LIST is guarded by 'depends on !UML'. So, the
ARCH_DEFCONFIG definition in arch/x86/um/Kconfig is meaningless.

arch/{sh,sparc,x86}/Kconfig define ARCH_DEFCONFIG depending on 32 or 64
bit variant symbols. This is a little bit strange; ARCH_DEFCONFIG should
be a fixed string because the base config file is loaded before the symbol
evaluation stage.

Using KBUILD_DEFCONFIG is saner because it is fixed before Kconfig is
invoked. Fortunately, arch/{sh,sparc,x86}/Makefile define it in the
same way, and it works as expected. Hence, replace ARCH_DEFCONFIG with
"arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG)".

[2] arch/$(ARCH)/defconfig

This file path is no longer valid. The defconfig files are always located
in the arch configs/ directories.

  $ find arch -name defconfig | sort
  arch/alpha/configs/defconfig
  arch/arm64/configs/defconfig
  arch/csky/configs/defconfig
  arch/nds32/configs/defconfig
  arch/riscv/configs/defconfig
  arch/s390/configs/defconfig
  arch/unicore32/configs/defconfig

The path arch/*/configs/defconfig is already covered by
"arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG)". So, this file path is
not necessary.
