    Create a kconfig user assistance guide, with a few tips and hints
    about using menuconfig, xconfig, and gconfig.

    Mostly contains user interface, environment variables, and search topics,
    along with mini.config/custom.config usage.

    Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
    all.config.

    For a fix the diffstat is nice:
    6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)

    The patch reverts these commits:
    - 0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116 ("kconfig: add helper to set
    config symbol from environment variable")
    - 2a113281f5cd2febbab21a93c8943f8d3eece4d3 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
    set 64BIT with all*config targets")

    Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
    the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
    not needed.

    With this patch we have following behaviour:

    # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
    option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit
    =====================================================
    ./. | 32bit | 64bit
    ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
    ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
    ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit

    The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
    precedence over the configuration.

    So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
    no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will
    be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
    other way around.

    This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
    suprises here.

    make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
    the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
    and 64-bit using menuconfig.

  • 2a113281f   kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets ... Browse Code »

    The variable K64BIT can now be used to select the
    value of CONFIG_64BIT.

    This is for example useful for powerpc to generate
    allmodconfig for both bit sizes - like this:
    make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=y
    make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=n

    To use this the Kconfig file must use "64BIT" as the
    config value to select between 32 and 64 bit.
