Better way to force a rebuild

[Steven Rostedt]

Hi,

In include/linux/kernel.h I currently have the following lines at the 
bottom of the file:

/* Rebuild everything on CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD */
#ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
# define REBUILD_DUE_TO_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
#endif


This is only there to force a rebuild of all files when 
CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD is modified. Since the modification of that 
config causes the build to act different, we need to rebuild all C 
objects. I added the #ifdef in kernel.h as a hack to force the rebuild by 
the config dependencies used in kbuild.

My question is, is there a better way to force a full rebuild on a 
modification of a config?

Thanks,

-- Steve
