Subject: [PATCH 0/9] configs: cleanup obsolete or incorrect assignments
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 10:13:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317-arm_defconf_cleanup-v1-0-8eecb7fdd24d@kernel.org> (raw)
The arm64 defconfig contains several inconsistencies, as shown by the
following merge_config warnings:
$ ARCH=arm64 ./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh arch/arm64/configs/defconfig
Using arch/arm64/configs/defconfig as base

./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh: 384: [: false: unexpected operator
The issues fall into several categories:
- assignments to removed or renamed configuration symbols.
- assignments to symbols that became hidden or internal.
- assignments that are requested as module (=m) but which have a
built-in parent dependency (=y).
This series cleans up all those issues. While the focus is the arm64
defconfig, fixes that apply more broadly are extended treewide.
After applying this series, merge_config.sh runs without warnings on
the arm64 defconfig. Below script was used to confirm that no symbols
got inadvertently removed:
#!/bin/sh
DIR=$(mktemp -d)
# Generate conf before this series
git checkout $(git merge-base HEAD @{upstream})
for arch in arch/*/; do
for conf in "$arch"configs/*defconfig; do
ARCH=$(basename $arch) \
KCONFIG_CONFIG="$DIR/$(basename $arch)_$(basename $conf)_before" \
./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh $conf
done
done
# Generate conf after this series
git checkout -
for arch in arch/*/; do
for conf in "$arch"configs/*defconfig; do
ARCH=$(basename $arch) \
KCONFIG_CONFIG="$DIR/$(basename $arch)_$(basename $conf)_after" \
./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh $conf
done
done
# Compare
for arch in arch/*/; do
for conf in "$arch"configs/*defconfig; do
if diff --unified \
"$DIR/$(basename $arch)_$(basename $conf)_before" \
"$DIR/$(basename $arch)_$(basename $conf)_after"; then
echo "$conf: OK"
else
echo "$conf: configuration changed"
fi
done
done
