      kbuild: script to check for undefined Kconfig symbols · 0bce6735
      Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso authored
      
      To avoid having to look manually for used but undefined Kconfig variables,
      I've written a script which tries do this efficiently, in case all other
      attention fail.  It accounts for _MODULE suffix and for UML_ prefixes to
      Kconfig variable, but otherwise looks for exact matches (i.e.  \<CONFIG_;
      this is done to exclude macros like MMCONFIG_).
      
      Undefined Kconfig variables should be not be removed without care, but for
      instance arch/i386/boot/ uses a bunch of undefined Kconfig vars:
      
      $ scripts/checkunknowndefines.sh arch/i386/boot/
      arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_400_HACK
      arch/i386/boot/video-vga.c uses undefined symbol VIDEO_400_HACK
      arch/i386/boot/video.c uses undefined symbol VIDEO_RETAIN
      arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_RETAIN
      arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_SVGA
      arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_VESA
      arch/i386/boot/video-vesa.c uses undefined symbol VIDEO_VESA
      
      It should also be mentioned in SubmittingPatches and SubmitChecklist.
