Subject: kconfig: do not write .config if the content is the same
X-Git-Url: https://jxself.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=42306a155d227ba90624c190a28344d61d566f46;p=carl9170fw.git

kconfig: do not write .config if the content is the same

Kconfig updates the .config when it exits even if its content is
exactly the same as before. Since its timestamp becomes newer than
that of other build artifacts, additional processing is invoked,
which is annoying.

- syncconfig is invoked to update include/config/auto.conf, etc.

- kernel/configs.o is recompiled if CONFIG_IKCONFIG is enabled,
  then vmlinux is relinked as well.

If the .config is not changed at all, we do not have to even
touch it. Just bail out showing "No change to .config".

  $ make allmodconfig
  config/conf  --allmodconfig Kconfig
  #
  # configuration written to .config
  #
  $ make allmodconfig
  config/conf  --allmodconfig Kconfig
  #
  # No change to .config
  #
