Ross Biro f2443ab6c4 [PATCH] allow /proc/config.gz to be built as a module

The driver for /proc/config.gz consumes rather a lot of memory and it is in
fact possible to build it as a module.

In some ways this is a bit risky, because the .config which is used for
compiling kernel/configs.c isn't necessarily the same as the .config which was
used to build vmlinux.

But OTOH the potential memory savings are decent, and it'd be fairly dumb to
build your configs.o with a different .config.

scripts contains sources for various helper programs used throughout

the kernel for the build process.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

kallsyms: Find all symbols in vmlinux

pnmttologo: Convert pnm files to logo files

conmakehash: Create chartable

conmakehash: Create arrays for initializing the kernel console tables

hostprogs-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += kallsyms hostprogs-$(CONFIG_LOGO) += pnmtologo hostprogs-$(CONFIG_VT) += conmakehash hostprogs-$(CONFIG_PROM_CONSOLE) += conmakehash hostprogs-$(CONFIG_IKCONFIG) += bin2c

always := $(hostprogs-y) $(hostprogs-m)

The following hostprogs-y programs are only build on demand

hostprogs-y += unifdef

subdir-$(CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) += genksyms subdir-y += mod

Let clean descend into subdirs

subdir- += basic kconfig package
