If you don't mind, I also have a question about kbuild... For automated kernel testing when we wish to customize a config, such as iterating through memory models, tuning settings, experimental features, etc. we can do this through simple substitutions. However, this doesn't handle dependencies, such as if choice of a given memory model should alter other config settings. Do you know of a tool or technique which can be used from the commandline to alter an arbitrary symbol's value in a given .config file, and cascade the change to any dependent symbols, using a given kernel Kconfig? >From what I have gathered, there is no such thing that does exactly this; do you know if this is true?
