In order to enable changing the generated C configuration files manually,
this patch introduces the target `diffconfig` to the build system.
After generating the configuration files, a developer can manually modify
these sources (which are placed under build/configs) and invoke `make
diffconfig` to generate a patch that shows the made differences. Such
patches can be registered to a build by invoking the `applydiffconfig`
target. The build system will always apply them whenever the configuration
files are regenerated.
A typical workflow to create a patch is as follows.
# The pre_build target relies on generated configuration files
hypervisor$ make BOARD=xxx SCENARIO=yyy pre_build
(manually edit files under build/configs/boards and
build/configs/scenarios)
hypervisor$ make diffconfig # Patch generated to build/config.patch
hypervisor$ cp build/config.patch /path/to/patch
The following steps apply apply the patch to another build.
hypervisor$ make BOARD=xxx SCENARIO=yyy defconfig
hypervisor$ make applydiffconfig PATCH=/path/to/patch-file-or-directory
hypervisor$ make
After any patch is registered for a build, the configuration files will be
automatically regenerated the next time `make` is invoked.
To show a list of registered patches for generated configuration files,
invoke `make applydiffconfig` without specifying `PATCH`.
v2:
* Add target `applydiffconfig` which accepts a PATCH variable to register
an arbitrary patch file or a directory containing patch file(s) for a
build. `.config_patches` is no longer used.
