Roland McGrath added the loose parts according to his email of 2008.Mar.05:
"I added this one (loose_nonint_oldconfig target, -B option to conf)."

after Dave Jones posted this patch.

Having 'make oldconfig' exit with Exit status: 139  (for example)
can be confusing.  I know that from experience.  It took me a bit
to find out what that meant.  That part could be improved...

hm, I can't see the -B there, maybe the functionality he's referring to is
the def_no?

ok, no real reason to keep incrementing that. no different error codes exist
other than "1". Do you think we need to introduce different return codes?

I would prefer a fixed value, like 86.  or 11.  or a useful printf text message.

ah, duh, you mean he's the author of loose_nonint_oldconfig. I somewhat thought
you said the loose_nonint_oldconfig functionality was already in :)

[PATCH] kconfig: introduce nonint_oldconfig and loose_nonint_oldconfig (v2)

[Aristeu Rozanski]

This patch has been around for a long time in Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise   
Linux kernels and it may be useful for others. The nonint_oldconfig target    
will fail and print the unset config options while loose_nonint_oldconfig will
simply let the config option unset. They're useful in distro kernel packages  
where the config files are built using a combination of smaller config files. 

Arjan van de Ven wrote the initial nonint_config and Roland McGrath added the
loose_nonint_oldconfig.

v2:
- when -B and -b are used, return "2" so the reason can be distinguished from
  other errors

Nice.

So loose_nonint_oldconfig is just a less chatty version of
$ yes '' | make oldconfig
? Also, you should update make help.

You should print "The following variables are not set:" or something
like that before the first variable, otherwise it's not very clear what
the list means.


> +					return_value = EUNSETOPT;

The name 'return_value' is a little confusing, we call exit(0) or
exit(1) at several places, but this variable only affects a single
statement. What about

static int unset_variables;
...
   unset_variables++;
...
return unset_variables ? EUNSETOPT : 0;

? Also, define the static var at the beginning of the file, where the
remaining variables are defined.

IMO nonint_oldconfig should not update the .config if it's going to
fail. At least I find this output quite confusing:
$ make nonint_oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf -b arch/x86/Kconfig
CONFIG_FOO
#
# configuration written to .config
#
make[1]: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 2
make: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 2

and a subsequent make nonint_oldconfig call does not fail.

[PATCH] kconfig: introduce nonint_oldconfig and loose_nonint_oldconfig (v3)

[Aristeu Rozanski]

This patch has been around for a long time in Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux kernels and it may be useful for others. The nonint_oldconfig target
will fail and print the unset config options while loose_nonint_oldconfig will
simply let the config option unset. They're useful in distro kernel packages
where the config files are built using a combination of smaller config files.

Arjan van de Ven wrote the initial nonint_config and Roland McGrath added the
loose_nonint_oldconfig.

v2:
- when -B and -b are used, return "2" so the reason can be distinguished from
  other errors
v3:
- help updated
- nonint_oldconfig won't update the config file if options are missing
