[PATCH v3] streamline_config.pl: add LMC_KEEP to preserve some kconfigs

From: Changbin Du
Date: Sat May 02 2020 - 11:31:11 EST


Sometimes it is useful to preserve batches of configs when making
localmodconfig. For example, I usually don't want any usb and fs
modules to be disabled. Now we can do it by:

$ make LMC_KEEP="drivers/usb;fs" localmodconfig

v3: rename LOCALMODCONFIG_PRESERVE to shorter LMC_KEEP.
v2: fix typo in documentation. (Randy Dunlap)

store the lsmod of that machine into a file
and pass it in as a LSMOD parameter.

+ Also, you can preserve modules in certain folders
+ or kconfig files by spcifying their paths in
+ parameter LMC_KEEP.
+
target$ lsmod > /tmp/mylsmod
target$ scp /tmp/mylsmod host:/tmp

- host$ make LSMOD=/tmp/mylsmod localmodconfig
+ host$ make LSMOD=/tmp/mylsmod \
+ LMC_KEEP="drivers/usb;drivers/gpu;fs" \
+ localmodconfig

The above also works when cross compiling.
