When the .config file is missing, 'make config', 'make menuconfig', etc. uses a file listed in DEFCONFIG_LIST, if found, as base configuration. Ususally, /boot/config-$(uname -r) exists, and is used as default. However, when you are cross-compiling the kernel, it does not make sense to use /boot/config-* on the build host. It should default to arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG). UML previously did not use DEFCONFIG_LIST at all, but it should be able to use arch/um/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG) as a base config file. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
