Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] kbuild: use 'include' directive to load auto.conf from top Makefile
Date:   Sat, 23 Jun 2018 22:56:07 +0900
Message-Id: <1529762169-13488-1-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

When you build targets that require the kernel configuration, dot-config
is set to 1, then the top-level Makefile includes auto.conf.  However,
Make considers its inclusion is optional because the '-include' directive
is used.

If a necessary configuration file is missing for the external module
building, the following error message is displayed:

  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.

However, Make still continues building; /bin/false let the creation of
'include/config/auto.config' fail, but Make can ignore the error since
it is included by the '-include' directive.

Use the 'include' directive instead.  This allows the /bin/false
to correctly terminate the whole build process.
