Cover letter [PATCH 0/3] Include kernel config by default
Hello,
I've seen too many systems where the config to build the used kernel got lost and people were unable to diagnose problems or to rebuild a modified or updated kernel. It's a subject which worries me since several years.
Therefor I finally prepared the following patch(es) to include the config by default, make it by default accessible through /proc/config.gz, to hide the option to not include the config below "embedded" and to remove all now unnecessary IKCONFIG_* options from 174 defconfigs (almost all of them enabled those options explicit).
I've already posted that two times before
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/25/2 and https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/18/132)
without even getting a single response. So I don't know if it's a totally foolish idea, if nobody is interested, or if the previous patches just weren't seen by anybody.
I've now added the maintainers of the two large architectures (x86 and arm), the master himself and a few other people to cc (sorry if I've missed any important person), and I made the subject more clearly.
Maybe this will provoke at least a single response. ;)
Regards,
Alexander
